If you want to read a novel or listen to a bestseller, Scribd (via Everand) is the better choice. If you need to fill out an application, sign a contract, or submit a print-ready document, PDF is the way to go.
That said, Scribd also allows you to upload and download as part of its platform. So in some cases, you can have the best of both worlds: a PDF stored in your Scribd library, accessible anywhere. Bottom line: Use Scribd for discovery and consumption. Use PDFs for permanence and precision.
