Here’s what consumers have asked with answers from Scribd staff and previous consumers.
Hi Sylvia! I'm so sorry for the trouble here. Our support team is happy to help with canceling your subscription and issuing a refund. Please email us at help@scribd.com and we'll be in touch shortly. Thanks! - Zoë, Scribd Customer Support
Hi Luke! So it actually depends on the specific document. The majority of our content is available with a subscription, but there is some content that is sold separately through the Scribd Store. If you could send us an email to help@scribd.com with a direct link to the document in question, we can absolutely provide some more information about how it is available. Thanks! - Zoë Scribd Customer Support
Hi Anuki! While some documents are downloadable from Scribd, not all are. If you are not seeing a blue Download button on the document, then it unfortunately will not be downloadable. If you have further questions, or would like for us to check out if this document is downloadable, please send us an email to support@scribd.com. Thanks! - Zoë, Scribd Customer Service.
Hi Collin. Some publishers and contributors allow you to download documents from Scribd in PDF format (using a "Download" button on the document's Scribd page). Those you can keep even after your membership expires. However, some content can only be read (or saved to the Scribd app on your phone/tablet) while you have an active membership, and you won't be able to access those books if you cancel your membership. --Jerry, Scribd Customer Service
