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?

    Libby and my kindle. I don’t like supporting Amazon so heavily but my kindle is like the one purchase in my entire life that has gotten the most mileage and has been arguably the most useful (excluding something like a car, I mean for leisure).

    Getting a kindle seriously changed the amount I read, and adding Libby to that made it from an Amazon machine to a library machine. I now usually have books on me but also have a kindle book going that I can read on the kindle or seamlessly on my phone if I happen to not have the kindle with me. Having a backlight is so much better than a booklight too.
