Everand, Scribd’s subscription digital reading platform, is now offering a $28.99 monthly “Deluxe” subscription that offers readers access to five premium books and audiobooks each month. The new tier is an upgrade over its Standard and Plus subscriptions, which provide one title for $11.99 a month and three titles for $16.99 per month. Everand subscriptions include access to a catalog of 1.5 million “premium” ebooks and audiobooks—i.e. high-demand bestsellers and other current titles you are likely to find in a typical bookstore or library—as well as a further 20,000 books that can be read for free without restriction.
The company said it was adding the Deluxe plan in direct response to demand from readers, particularly among romantasy and thriller readers. The most read books on Everand so far in 2025 are Rebecca Yarros’s Onyx Storm, Iron Flame and Fourth Wing, which have registered some million hours read, according to the company’s usage data.
The company has been aggressively pursuing users and has been growing in the U.S., Mexico, and Latin America, fueled in part by its acquisition of book club platform Fable, which has three million users across 100,000 book clubs.
“The addition of the Deluxe Plan is the latest in our efforts to deliver what our audience has been asking for: more access to the books they want to read, when they want to read them, and in the formats they want,” Aroash Solomon, senior director of product at Everand, said in a statement. “As we continue evolving Everand, our focus remains on building the most unique, reader-centric platform in the market, to connect people with the books and authors they love.”
