Scribd appreciates your business and we understand your frustration. We apologize for how these new changes are affecting you. By now you’ve probably seen the post from our CEO where he explains the reasons behind our decision. (http://blog.scribd.com/2015/06/30/a-message-from-our-ceo/ )

Some of the changes that would affect our Romance reader will be that certain books in your subscription may no longer be available. However, we still have thousands of great titles from small and big publishers. We are also working on an ongoing basis, rotating titles in and out, so that romance readers always have something fresh to read. As for books that may be affected and saved in your library, you would have 30 days to complete the books.

I understand

    Rhetorical Analysis of Print is Dead What happened to paper? Is print the past. When reading the text of "Print is Dead" Miss Jamison introduces the idea that a culture of magazines, once very prominent and large, is now slowly being terminated by technology now used by online media. The notion that print is dying is surely one to take with a grain of salt, as print today is now filled with craft and sharpness. While magazines were out in the bunches in the past to bring information, today we have the Internet.…

    Throughout the book, Engineers of Victory: The Problem Solvers Who Turned the Tide in the Second World War, by Paul Kennedy, he shows to the reader how the Second World War was won through many different perspectives. These perspectives include; different military strategies that show to the reader how the war was won and how. The main point that Kennedy tries to convey to the reader in my opinion is that World War II was not a general war but rather a saga of different parts coming together to shape into one massive conflict. Kennedy started out in the introductory chapter by describing what the book is going to cover and how it affected the war.…

In the first edition of the magazine, Wenner wrote that Rolling Stone “is not just about the music, but about the things and attitudes that music embraces.”…
