Scribd - an extraordinary resource

Basically a YouTube for books, Scribd is a wonderful document-sharing website which allows users to post documents of various formats, and download or embed them into a web page using its iPaper format.
Scribd currently has more than 50 million monthly users and more than 50,000 documents are uploaded daily.
Not just documents but complete books on pretty well any subject at all.
Scribd allows published documents to be open to the larger Scribd community so they can be downloaded or private and providing you with the option to embed documents in any website or blog in their original "printed" layout regardless of file format.
Scribd recently opened added a store facility allowing authors to sell their books.
Do click on the link above and checkout this amazing resource.
