How is scribd html5?

Question

I don't get it... how is Scribd html5 ?

In searching for an answer.. the closest I got against is found here: http://loud.anotherquietday.com/post/598121586/scribds-html5-is-a-mess

Is there any reason for?

Answer 1

Scribd is actually using some HTML5-type features to replace old Flash functionality. Web fonts, for instance (CSS3), are used to render the typography, and canvas is used for drawing operations. These are both in the HTML5 spec and are used extensively in Scribd.
