Over the past 16 years, we’ve been on a mission to build products and experiences that spark curiosity and make knowledge more accessible. What started as a publishing platform for documents has grown to be one of the world’s largest digital libraries with over 200 million pieces of content across every subject, interest, genre, and niche.

One of our core beliefs is that knowledge, information, and ideas should be accessible and easily discoverable to everyone. So when we realized that some readers had a clear preference for ebooks and audiobooks, and others were more interested in documents, research, and community-uploaded content, we saw an opportunity to streamline the discovery process. In other words, to give readers an even better way to find more of what they want.

So today, we’re excited to announce the next chapter in our story with a new product we’re calling Everand. Included in your single monthly Scribd, Inc. subscription, Everand gives you access to ebooks, audiobooks, podcasts, magazines, newspapers, and sheet music. Enjoy millions of great titles across every genre, including exclusive and original releases, best-selling authors, diverse voices, emerging talents, and so much more.

You can log in to the Everand app or Everand.com using your existing Scribd username and password. In fact, if you had the Scribd app on your phone, you may have noticed that it’s already updated to Everand! This world of stories and knowledge is designed to be flexible for how, when, and where you like to experience content: Read or listen online, offline, and across devices. Check out personalized recommendations and build a custom digital “bookshelf” by saving titles you want to revisit. Look around, get comfortable, and make Everand your own.

We’re also happy to announce the new Scribd app for iOS and Android, available today for download. Browse 170 million documents (and counting) and uncover information on just about everything under the sun. Our global community provides fascinating research materials, legal documents, helpful manuals, and so much more. Find and share information, dive into subject matter expertise, and get answers you won’t find anywhere else.

It’s such an exciting time here at Scribd, Inc. and we’re just getting started. We’re already hard at work creating new and dynamic ways for you to enjoy and engage with the text and audio you love — so you can find even more of what interests you and sparks your curiosity. Thank you so much for being part of our vibrant community of readers, thinkers, experts, and explorers. The best is yet to come.

Happy reading!

Tony Grimminck, Interim CEO, CFO
