Scribd has launched an updated subscription service that lets you read unlimited books for $8.99/month with the first month free. In their email to existing Scribd users they claim to have available "thousands of bestsellers and new releases, including titles by well-known authors Paulo Coehlo, C.S. Lewis, Arthur C. Clarke, and Michael Crichton." That three of the four authors referenced in the context of "new releases" are dead, is something of a cause for concern, but presumably is a case of poor writing skills on the part of the publicist rather than a reflection of the "new releases" available!
