Word to the wise - I like to read but don't have the patience during the day so like to read at night. My wife goes to sleep a lot earlier than me and doesn't love me having a light on. This is a problem with paper books. I don't mind reading on the kindle app, but know it's problematic and can also be restrictive. Rejoined library recently. Turns out you can 'borrow' books through the library app and read it with an app called Libby. For free. Free books. On your phone. Not through Amazon. Good, innit. So I just downloaded the Murderbot Diaries.
@TheBreadmonkey And if you like Libby, you’ll love Hoopla!
Another free service through public libraries for ebooks, e audiobooks, and some video.
Much smaller inventory than Libby, but sometimes has "unlimited" downloads so no waiting for a copy.
@FallsMom @TheBreadmonkey I’ve found it just the reverse. Tons on Hoopla, and very limited library on Libby. I guess YMMV.
Yes, "your results may vary," it depends on how much your library budgets for buying titles on either Libby or Hoopla. Libraries buy/pay for individual titles on these platforms.
@TheBreadmonkey Show. Yea. What @FallsMom said.
@AlliFlowers
What is Hoopla?
