does anyone know what version of the scribd app stored downloaded files in an accessable format on android? i've seen references to people managing to get the files from older versions, but i don't know how far to go to be able to get that. please don't suggest online scribd downloaders, 99% don't work and the one that does messes with the format of the books i'm looking for.

EDIT: i found an alternate way; this script seems to do the trick on pc (https://github.com/evmer/scribd-downloader). you do need a premium account or trial, but it's pretty useful.

Thanks for following up with the edit.

I know I’ll appreciate it in the future when I need to do the same!

you're welcome, also leaving it here in case anyone needs to download something and don't have a premium account or trial:

this (https://scribd.vpdfs.com/) is the only site downloader that worked for me: it says that book and audiobook downloads are only available to beta testers, but when you input a book link it gives you the option of downloading the pdf or epub through zoboko.

not sure if it works for all files, and the formatting was a bit off when i tried it, but the content is all there.
