Scribd's E-Book Subscription Service, Now With Audiobooks
This article is for subscribers only.
Technology startups are trying to unclench Amazon’s iron grip on the book business, one finger at a time. The latest effort comes courtesy of Scribd, a seven-year-old San Francisco company that, for $8.99 a month, offers unlimited access to a catalog of some 500,000 e-books, including titles from major publishers like HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster.
Today, Scribd is announcing that it’s adding more than 30,000 audiobooks to the service, at no additional charge. Standouts in the collection include the Hunger Games trilogy, The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolaño, and Daring Greatly by Brené Brown.
