Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'll bite - what's wrong with scribd ? (besides the fact you might "stumble" upon documents you're not supposed to read)

The last time I've checked, the worst thing was that it demands money once the document is old enough(!) Then, it required from you to have an account just to download the document. Finally, it didn't work without Javascript. For me, instead of adding value, it reduces it, so I decided to avoid it to save my time. I know Scribd is a Y Combinator's company.

A surprisingly low-quality, diluted, conformist list of mostly boring and outdated books. You can't expect much innovation to come from a team reading this. I scanned through the list 3 times looking for something of value, but nothing caught my eye. Disappointed by Intel.

Define low-quality, boring and outdated in this context, and provide alternatives. I am waiting.

I know people say this all the time, but I nearly did not click the link, because it said scribd. It turns out it's a pdf served at this address, along with another link to scribd in the brackets: https://noggin.intel.com/sites/default/files/Intel-Recommend... "I think the title should read [pdf] and [scribd]"
