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?

For audiobooks I use Libby with two different library cards, Hoopla, and Everand. Between the three I pretty much always have something to listen to.

For digital reading, I have a Kobo E-reader and depending on which library card I use, it's either through Overdrive (which is Libby), or Cloud Library (which requires me to transfer books from there to Adobe Digital Editions, then to my Kobo). That last bit sounds more annoying than it actually is.
