Scribd brings Lonely Planet guides to its book subscription service

Share

Scribd’s e-book subscription service is only six months old, and already it’s working hard to hook some big names to convince you that it’s worth $9 a month. The company has now snagged a deal with publisher Lonely Planet that’ll see hundreds of the latter’s travel guides appear on the former’s platform. At the same time, the company has added in bookmarking across all devices, so you’ll always be able to find that list of restaurants when you’re roaming without WiFi. Great, now we’ve got the theme to the Lonely Planet TV series stuck in our head.

Update: The folks from Scribd offered up this link, which’ll give Engadget readers an extended free trial of the service.
