I recently discovered an app called “Libby” that connects you to your local library, and so far I really like it. You can place a hold on books (join waitlist), or borrow them for a certain amount of time. There are no late fees as they automatically take the book back from you once your allocated time is up, and everything is completely free, it’s also kindle compatible. What is your preferred way of reading/listening to books and what are some of your favorite features in the apps/tech you use?

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 can’t get Hoopla. Our library isn’t in the system yet. I did talk to the librarian about it though.
