As some of you have probably noticed, Scribd recently migrated from the Flash-based iPaper embedded reader to an HTML based system. While an improvement in some respects, it appears to have caused issues with a number of CP titles; a few appear (at least in the browser -- Firefox 3.6.3 -- which I'm using) not to display at all, others have type alignment issues on some pages. All should display as intended if you download the PDFs. Hopefully this is just a teething problem with the new reader software and will be sorted soon.
UPDATE 2010.06.07: If a document is not displaying in the new HTML view, it can still be viewed in iPaper, but this involves selecting the "change your reading preferences" link, and then clearing the tickbox "Display documents in HTML mode (recommended)." Obviously it *also* involves having Flash enabled which the known security issues with current versions of Flash is something you may not want to do.
