Overall, still very satisfied

I was a user before the change that now only allows 3 books per month. Im also a user whom this affects unfortunately. That being said, its still a great deal and Im quite happy with the services.

I have two smallish complaints. One is that the offline mode sometimes saves the page number and sometimes doesnt. Im reading a book right now that doesnt recognize chapters (bad Ebook formatting?) and when scribd loses my place it can be rather annoying. The other minor quibble are the previews. Some previews of books are great and give me a great indication of the book. Others.. Not so much. For example, I just tried to preview a poetry book. After I got through the table of contents and prologue, I was only able to read part of a single poem! I understand that it may not be Scribd per se, but I wish the previews were thought out a little better. Eh.

Anyway, thats my general review. Now Ill talk just a bit about my personal reading habits and how it relates to scribd. Dont bother reading unless you want to know if scribd is worth it to you :)

I read primarily spiritual books, an occasional poetry book and comics as well as reference books (massaging, languages, drawing etc). I dont read many novels on scribd.

This is one reason why the program works out alright for me. I used to read much much more than 3 books a month, but this is forcing me to go through them a bit slower. For something like a novel, perhaps thats annoying. For something like poetry or spiritual books, its usually a good thing!

And the gardening/language/other reference books are something that I need to just slowly build up. Once I get my Chinese reader book Ill be set on Chinese for quite a while for example.

Comics are the worst because most are just read so quickly! I dont want to spend my precious book tokens on a book Ill easily read in 20-30 minutes!

As for the free Scribd selects.. So far Ive always found at least one book. This month theres the 500+ page From Hell comic. So it doesnt take a book and itll last a while! A great gardening one and even a cool novel Im going to read.

So overall Id prefer having unlimited books, but my reading habits still work quite well under this model. Heck, maybe even its a bit healthier for me.
