Scribd is one of the largest document sharing website with millions of users sharing documents in different categories. There are lots of things that you can do on Scribd like mark document as favorite, download document in multiple available format, rate the documents, see other document posted by the same user, see the stats, find related documents, share documents & also can also subscribe to the author. Recently Scribd has launch it two new services the first one is the scribd store where you can buy books & the second one is Read on the Go which allow user to send the document link to your phone where you can read document at your ease. Even the Trending Document feature which allows you to see document which are featured, highest rated, most read & most discussed. One thing I like about Scribd is easy access to document without freezing windows or hang browsers.

Issuu.com
As Issuu say “Making digital publishing beautiful” is very true as you can give life to your documents through flash interface, but due to this the website takes time to load so if your using slow internet connection then it will take long time for document to load. On Issuss you get your own book sleeve where you arrange you digital books & view books from your friend as well. It has included in TIME list of 50 best website of 2009.
