Great app!!! A variety of books and audiobooks -that keep me company while running. Works just like a library, including the waiting time for popular books, but there are so many available books to keep you going until your ordered ones arrive, that it really isn’t a hassle. The app notifies you the minute your ordered book is available: so efficient! The fact that I don’t have to go to the library and start my search there, in hope that they actually have what I want, plus the fact that I get to read popular books for free...and no need to dust them books every few months...well, gotta love this app.

Amazing app it connects to your library card and then you use it to loan books from a digital library, sometimes you need to place the book on hold due to it being like an actual library but it’s still good, I use it for audiobooks and it’s so easy to do so you can also borrow a book (all online) and when your done with the book you just return, overall this app saved me a lot of money and trips to the library that I live 10 minutes away by car

There are many cases of a series of books where the library has copies of only some of them, many times it is not even the first one.Another big problem is that there is no way to screen out books you’ve already read when you’re looking for something to read.Also- sometimes there are several issues of the same book, but you don’t have both marked as ”read” when you read one of them, same for audio book versions of a book you already have read (and vice versa)
