Hello, world.
Did you know that when you read a book on #scribd, it triggers a per-read payout to the publisher? (Whether or not the publisher sends some to the #author I don't know, but I must assume so.)
The payments are based on an agreed fraction of the list price, as high as 70% in some cases.
So reading on the site directly impacts sales numbers. Yay!
