In my travels I ran across a site called Scribd. This site will publish your ebooks and presentations on their site. They do have a store section if you wish to sell your info products but the primary mode of operation is as an online reading room. They have an online ebook reader and the things posted to the site can be read on the site or are available for download. This is an interesting business model.

I have prepared my first ebook recently. I have offered it as a free download on my Before You Buy a Website site. The ebook is titled ‘Website Basics’ and incorporates an overview of terms that someone thinking of a web presence would need to know. I designed a basic cover page to add to the ebook and uploaded it to Scribd last evening. As I write this there are 14 views listed for the ebook, although at least one of those is mine. You can find my ebook on Scribd by clicking this sentence.

Do you like the Idea of this site? What are your thoughts on Scribd? Please leave a comment.
