It takes balls for a company to "redo" their core software using a new technology, I can assure you that this was not a simple decision. Choosing to move to HTML5 makes a lot of sense, especially making it more SEO friendly. I hope other sites consider the benefits of HTML5 and move away from Flash. Congratulations Scribd!

Great presentation about the flash killer which excites me a lot keeping in mind the features it domes with but for a minute there i thought they were going to compare html5 with web 2.0

another thing is that its running in a browser and not natively on the cpu. on the iPad for example this would mean that the performance is just as good as the browser handles the input. also steve jobs made this mistake of comparing flash to html5. flash would run natively on the cpu and not in a webview (thats what it is called on the iPhone OS) or browser.
this hype about html5 is just a hype and nothing more.

well, they forgot about one thing: not even html4 is interpreted in all browsers the same way - so good luck for html5. thats why a plugin like flash totally makes sense. and in addition to that flash does allow text-select, searching and highlighting. offering a html representation of a pdf is nothing new - this has been done years before. its the extra interactive experience that the people want - not a plain html page ... this is just boring.

Blind people listen to content, not deaf people. Common mistake.

First of all Scribd's HTML5 doesn't work on all browsers and they still use Flash. Checked on my IPhone they have a special mobile version that didn't serve HTML5, it was PDF or something. So this is a mix of a lot of techniques, and looking at the source code, it looks very confusing. So this doesn't help regular people.

@hombacom - DId he said anything about having already launched this? I suspect your iPhone was loading the current non HTML 5 version of Scribd.
