OK, I was able to clean it up into plain text and post it to Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/vcEe9KWP

Used the $$ selector in Chrome to find Scribd's .ff0 elements, copied them into SublimeText, did some regex work to clean out the tags (a span element for every line? with absolute positioning? Really Scribd?), and then exploited the fact that paragraphs got jammed together with no whitespace between the last punctuation and the beginning of the next paragraph to use a regex to auto-break the paragraphs.

Not pretty, but should be readable.
