My favorite is Hoopla.
Same concept as Libby, but there’s no waitlists. The app is easy to use and their audiobook collection is quite large. The only downside is my library’s limit on check-outs but since I only use it for my work commute it doesn’t bother me.
I wish more people knew about Hoopla. I'm too impatient about waiting to use Libby anymore, but having free audiobooks just on-demand has been amazing.
My library’s version of Hoopla doesn’t offer audiobooks. I’m so jealous every time I hear people talk about how great their selection is. I do use Hoopla for comics and manga though.
I can’t get Hoopla. Our library isn’t in the system yet. I did talk to the librarian about it though.
Hoopla occasionally has waitlists. Generally with very popular books (I've had.to place holds two times ghis year, both on the current "it" biography.) Those are the only ones though
I work my way around the limit by using hoopla to download long audio times (15+ hours) and box sets🤣
Hoopla’s graphic novel collection is HUGE. My local library could never.
