Comment on Ask HN: Is relying on scribd's API a big mistake?

Comments

If scribd went out of business tomorrow, how long would it take for you to get a solution working? How much would it cost?

No, I don't think you're making a mistake, but this is a high risk decision. Personally I would at the very least look into using one of scribd's competitors as an emergency solution in case of major downtime, bankruptcy, etc.
