Document-sharing site Scribd and on the internet self-publishing service Lulu have teamed up to offer Lulu’s free ebooks in Scribd’s iPaper format. iPaper is designed to be a versatile cross-platform means of displaying different document types online. Key draws include the ability to embed docs in any webpage, including your manuscript in Scribd’s library, and adding ads to your document.
Lulu is a popular self-publishing site, handling print versions and ebook versions of manuscripts, so getting them to start rolling out iPaper is a large win for Scribd. It’s not going to be available for all Lulu books at first, just the most popular free ones. If this catches on, though, the two companies will have all the publishing bases covered, from printed books to iPaper ebooks.
