Everand (formerly part of Scribd) is ABSOLUTE SHIT NOW!!!
Everand used to be Scribd before it was split away and Scribd was changed to be only for user-uploaded documents. It's essentially an ebook subscription service where you pay around US$11.99 per month and get access to a library of 1.5 million ebooks and audiobooks.
I hadn't read anything on Everand in over a year, but there were some books I wanted to read so I resumed my subscription, only to cancel it a few minute later. Because the system has changed, and not for the better.
Instead of paying to get access to 1.5 million ebooks, most of books are now 'locked' and you have to spend an 'unlock' to access them. The cheapest plan at US$11.99 comes with a measly one unlock, and even if you join the highest tier at US$28.00, you only get five unlocks per month. So instead of paying US$11.99 to read as many books as you want, you now have to pay over double that and can only read five books in a month! There is a much, much smaller 'Unlimited' library, but the vast majority of the books have to be unlocked.
The site is a total ripoff now! Does anyone know of any comparable services that still operate the way Everand/Scribd used to?
