Can I download books on Scribd?

Asked a year ago
No, you cannot download books on Scribd. Scribd is primarily a streaming service that allows you to read books, audiobooks, and other written content directly on their website or mobile app. This means that you need to be connected to the internet to access and enjoy Scribd's extensive library. However, they offer an offline mode on their mobile app, allowing users to save specific titles and access them without an internet connection for a limited period. Still, it's important to note that these saved titles remain within the Scribd app and cannot be exported or downloaded as separate files. This streaming-based approach ensures that Scribd's content remains protected and helps maintain the platform's licensing agreements with publishers and authors.
