not sure why I am getting TypeError: doc_scroller is undefined

Hello,

It's the first time I see this kind of document in scribd (with the right arrow to scroll), and this tool does not yet deal with that case. I may try to deal with it when I have more time. By the way, I'm not sure to be able to scrape the "Join to keep reading" pages...
