In Recently Launched Scribd Store

SAN FRANCISCO – June 12, 2009 – Scribd, the world's largest social
publishing company, and Simon & Schuster, a leading global publisher, today
announced an agreement to sell Simon & Schuster eBooks in the Scribd Store,
an e-commerce destination and publishing marketplace launched last month to
complement Scribd's already-popular platform for users' sharing their written
works. At launch, nearly 5,000 Simon & Schuster eBook titles will be available on
Scribd for purchase and download, making them readable on Scribd.com,
computer desktops and various mobile devices. The Simon & Schuster storefront
on Scribd (www.scribd.com/Simon&Schuster) will include bestselling books from
authors such as Stephen King, Dan Brown, Mary Higgins Clark, Chelsea Handler
and Steve Martin. In addition, Simon & Schuster will also make thousands of
printed titles available for preview with links to purchase from the Simon &
Schuster website and other retailers.

"Simon & Schuster is a major force in book publishing and is again leading the
industry by recognizing the power of the social web to influence reading and
buying behavior," said Trip Adler, CEO and co-founder of Scribd. "We're thrilled to
offer our users a one-stop solution for discovering, sharing and buying written
works of all kinds, including bestselling books by one of the world's top
publishers."

“With millions of visitors and an extraordinary number of posted documents,

Scribd has become an important destination for readers seeking written
information that is relevant to their lives,” said Ellie Hirschhorn, Executive Vice
President and Chief Digital Officer of Simon & Schuster. “We’re pleased to offer
them this convenient, user-friendly option for discovering, sampling, and
purchasing Simon & Schuster books, any time and anywhere.”

All works in the Scribd Store are added to Scribd’s Copyright Management
System, an industry-leading technology that helps prevent the upload of
unauthorized written works. Publishers like Simon & Schuster have the ability to
determine how works are read, including settings for “read only on Scribd.com,”

with the flexibility to experiment with pricing, which can be changed easily and at
any time.
