No offense to Scribd, but what is wrong with viewing a document in your browser using something like Safari? I realize that not all machines are capable of this, but they could pretty easily. Someone asked the other day, "Why doesn't Windows have a native PDF reader?". Surely it's possible for all browsers to quickly and properly render a PDF, with easy controls to navigate.
I understand the added benefits of being able to comment, discuss, share, etc.. your documents with Scribd, but honestly why the need for HTML5 or anything at all? PDF's are viewable just fine in a simple PDF viewer.
