It looks like Scribd is building a reader for the iPhone, and this app will also allow searching within Simon & Shuster pbooks. This is interesting because it sounds similar to what you can do with Google Books, though on a much smaller scale.
Also from the WSJ article, Scribd's PDFs can be read on the Sony Reader but not on the Kindle DX - which means they've probably adopted Adobe's DRM. Are we going to see DRM-free paid content from Scribd at some point?

- jasonbentley 17y agoThere's actually tons of DRM-free paid content on Scribd. DRM is just an option.
