considered to be one of the best place of resource containing valuable documents and files covering almost all fields. It allows user to view documents online with
the need of any account. But at times you might prefer to download docs for later or offline access. It does provides you an option of downloading files in PDF
format but with some restrictions like you need to have an account to login or should connect via Facebook ,then to download the file you should either pay

[Update May 05,2012]
One of our reader’s Tony has mentioned that his browser is being redirecting back to original URL of the eBook on clicking Download Now button. This is
probably because of late Scribd has changed it’s way of handling different user agents. So here is a new fix for it.
1. Install User Agent Switcher addon and restart your browser.
2. Follow the above steps till step 3. Just do a search and keep, don’t click the download button.
3. Now go to Tools> Default User Agent> iPhone 3.0. Now click the button. You will be able to download as usual again.
