Scribd Vs Audible:
It really depends on what the person is looking for. Audible has always been considered the better audiobook service, but Scribd was more popular because it offered unlimited access to books in their library for a low monthly fee. However, now that Audible has launched an All-You-Can-Listen subscription plan that is only $7.95 per month and includes unlimited access to thousands of audiobooks, Audible Originals, and podcasts, more people are choosing Audible.
Check out our honest Audible Review:
There are a few key differences between Scribd and Audible. For one, Audible is an audiobook company, so their library only consists of audiobooks. This is in contrast to Scribd, which has a library of both books and other formats (such as audiobooks, ebooks, magazines, sheet music. etc.). Additionally, Scribd has a smaller number of titles overall than Audible. However, both companies offer a great selection of popular titles and classics.
There is no free membership to Scribd. However, they do offer a free trial for new members. After the free trial, memberships start at $9.99 per month. Memberships give you unlimited access to Scribd's library of books, audiobooks, etc.
You can cancel Scribd after the free trial. You can do this by logging into your account and going to the 'Billing' section. From here, you can select the 'Cancel Subscription option.
Scribd App:
The Scribd App is a great way to read and listen to books on your phone. It has a clean, simple design that makes it easy to browse and find titles you're interested in. The search function is also useful, and you'll be suggested titles based on your interests. You can download and listen offline, which is great for when you're on the go. I really like the app and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good book-reading experience.
The biggest downside to Scribd is that it does not support Kindle readers and does not have its own reader. This means you can only read on your cellphone or tablet, which can be inconvenient. Additionally, the selection of books is not as large as on other reading platforms. However, Scribd does offer a variety of other content, such as audiobooks, comics, and documents.
Is Scribd Worth it?
I highly recommend Scribd to all my friends. There's no doubt that Scribd is a great service. For just a few dollars a month, you get access to an amazing library of audiobooks and self-improvement content. The question is, is it worth it? For me, the answer is yes. I love being able to listen to audiobooks while I'm doing other things, and the selection on Scribd is excellent. The self-improvement section has also been really helpful, providing me with guidance and motivation that I wouldn't have otherwise had access to. If you're considering signing up for Scribd, I say go for it. It's a great investment in your personal growth and development.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
