Content publishers are able to make changes in real-time and receive sales data immediately. There are some built-in marketing tools, enabling publishers to share previews of items for sale. The Scribd store also ensure mobile-platform distribution, as the system will make sure content is available for mobile devices and e-reader devices like the Kindle. Perhaps the most interesting feature is the ability for publishers to opt to sell rights-managed documents. Publishers will be able to set their preferenes to allow those purchasing content to download the PDF, view on Scribd, download the PDF with DRM or download an ePub with DRM. After setting the preference, Scribd will also help ensure that there will be no unauthorized downloading of documents from the Scribd site through its Copyright Management System (CMS). Additionally, Scribd is also preparing to launch an iPhone application for the Scribd store that is very much like the Kindle for iPhone app. ![Pete Prestipino](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Pete%20Prestipino.jpeg) [Pete Prestipino](https://www.websitemagazine.com/content/author/pete-prestipino) Digital marketing executive with proven experience in all aspects of search engine optimization (SEO), performance-based advertising, consumer-generated/social media, email marketing, lead generation, Web design, usability, and analytics. - 20-year Internet marketing veteran, currently serving as the Digital Marketing Campaign Manager at Antenna Group (formerly Chicago Digital). - Former Editor-In-Chief of Website Magazine, and a regular speaker on Web technology digital marketing strategy - Author of several books on digital marketing Including Web 360: The Fundamentals of Web Success; Affiliate 360: The Fundamentals of Performance Marketing; Domains 360: The Fundamentals of Buying & Selling Domain Names, and SEO 360: The Fundamentals of Search Engine Optimization. - - - [mailto:peter@websitemagazine.com](mailto:peter@websitemagazine.com) #### Popular Post ### [YouTube Gets a Makeover ![YouTube Gets a Makeover](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/youtube-logo-icon-3-2-2-1.png)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/content/youtube-gets-a-makeover) ### [47 Weblog Directories, Portals & Platforms ![47 Weblog Directories, Portals & Platforms](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/blogging-mini-Jan-22-2023-11-55-59-2412-PM-1-1-1.gif)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/content/47-weblog-directories-portal-and-platforms) ### [10 Tools for Better Website Testing ![10 Tools for Better Website Testing](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/tools-Jan-22-2023-11-55-07-0763-PM-1-1-1.jpg)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/content/10-tools-for-better-website-testing) #### Subscribe to Our Newsletter!
