Release: New HTML5

Embedded Reader
Release: New HTML5 Embedded Reader
March 17, 2011

Today, we are announcing the roll-out of HTML5 code for all websites that currently
display Scribd content in Flash. The new embedded reader will still allow you to read
the content, navigate to the content on Scribd and print it. Now, you will also be able to
share the content on Scribd, Facebook and Twitter directly from the embed. Unlike
Flash, HTML5 is supported by most mobile devices, such as iPhones, iPads and
Android smartphones. This means that you will be able to read more Scribd embeds
through your mobile devices!

Starting today, all new content that is uploaded to Scribd and then embedded on a
third-party website, will display in HTML5. In addition, all previously embedded content
using the Flash-based reader will convert to HTML5 in the coming weeks.
