The well-known service Scribd , which allows publishing PDF documents in the Youtube-like interface, has opened a paid content store. The store is extremely democratic: anyone can add their own PDF-file for sale, as well as set any price on it. DRM protection is not required, that is, you can sell even files that are not copy protected.
This is simply the perfect tool for selling lecture notes to your fellow students, electronic versions of magazines and newspapers, market analysis reports, literary works and other content that is published in PDF format. The author receives 80% of the selling price, which is much higher than usual. Now the site sells documents ranging from $ 1 (small comics) to $ 5000 (analytical review of China).
Within a month Scribd-widget for iPhone will be released. ')
