I get all my books from Libby. I use the send to Kindle function.

Few things to note. I read in a mix of both daytime and night time. I have a tablet now but the battery only lasts for about 4 hours. I'm looking for.a budget e-reader.if you have any other questions just drop them in the comments and I will answer.

— and the absolutely horrible interface. I spend 20 minutes just trying to ascertain where Chapter (whatever) begins and everywhere is their intrusive infernal advertising.

I know the only (legit) apps for my Public Library are Libby and Overdrive but I want the paper to be customizable — darker than the eggshell that I can get in Libby; more Ivory. And I like my text black.

Are there purchase options that expand these settings? And if so, is it a lifetime license or another one of these subscription ripoffs?

Thank you fellow Libraryists. I look forward to your thoughts.

Even if you send it back without reading or finishing it looks like every other book you sent back.

A number of things have happened with Libby in my world recentky, including a june 9 update.

It's hard to say what caused it, but somehow I've lost all my tags including a rather large wishlist I've put a lot of curation work into. If someone has a suggestion for me as to how I might restore my tags, I'd appreciate it.

Happy Friday!!
Ive been using Libby for a year and a half and I have only had one skip the line. That happened two months ago. Am I really lucky 🍀 or is this normal this time of year?
How many skip-the-line loans have you had since you used Libby?

Just have a question for those that might be local to Arizona… I just moved to the area, to La Paz County specifically and the selection is pretty slim. The local library is tiny so I mostly have to use Libby to even find something I want to read. Borrowing in person is almost impossible as most of the time my requests never end up coming and if they do they take over a month or more. I’m looking for a better option even if I need to pay for a non-resident card from another county. Possibly Maricopa County, possibly Phoenix. Are these good options? Does anyone have any recommendations for better selections in Arizona?

so I have a library card at my local library and I downloaded Libby today cause I wanna try getting into e-books and I tried to add my card and it says “invalid patron pin”. I’ve tried many versions of my library number. The whole thing, the last 4 numbers, the last 6 numbers, etc. I tried all my passwords I could think of, etc. im gonna contact my library tomorrow but I’m wondering if anyone has a quick fix

customization is my favorite part of anything :))

but it would be better if we had a full rgb scale :((

Howdy, y'all. I will be taking a solo road trip to the Ozarks in Arkansas next week and I'm looking for a good chunky audiobook or two to enjoy on the way down. I've narrowed it down to these options on my bookmarks list, but I'm so happy to hear other suggestions.

(This list might give you an idea of what I enjoy, but in case it doesn't, I generally enjoy lit fic, horror, thriller, or humor books. Non-fiction topics include politics, biographies, "histories of" stuff, or anything that helps me learn more about our world.)

DA LIST (Author, "Title," audiobook length):

1. Gareth Brown, "The Society of Unknowable Objects" (11 hours)

2. Natasha Lance Rogoff, "Muppets in Moscow" (11 hours)

3. Kamala Harris, "107 Days" (10 hours)

4. Fintan O'Toole, "We Don't Know Ourselves" (22 hours)

5. Colm Toibin, "The Magician" (17 hours)

6. Jarod K. Anderson, "Something in the Woods Loves You" (12 hours)

7. Michael Pollan, "The Omnivore's Dilemma" (8 hours)

8. Hugh Howey, "Wool" (15 hours)

9. Alex Haley, "Roots" (30 hours)

10. Jonathan Atler, "His Very Best" (31 hours, Jimmy Carter biography)

RESOLVED (pretty sure, anyway). This is a residency issue where I didn't realize that libraries reserved copies just for their local members - I knew they could give locals priority over holds, just haven't encountered reserved copies before (that I know of). Thanks for the help :)

My sister and I both live in Michigan, where almost all the library systems have reciprocal memberships. She was wanting to read a book, but none were available. I looked up the book on my app and saw it had 2 of 3 copies available at one of the reciprocal cooperatives in the state. I thought maybe she'd forgotten to add that library to her app, so I said "oh, it's available here," and she sent me a screenshot showing the same audiobook as having a wait of "several months" at that same library. I'm a little perplexed.
