Some of the cons she mentions are features of the library system, not because of Libby. The number of books available depends on the library system. If the library has great resources, it can order more books. Same for the availability. If a library buys only so many licenses, and the books are popular there will of course be a longer wait period for the book to become available.

You should do a pros and cons video regarding listening to Audiobooks vs Reading a book. I’d like to watch your insight and I think it’d be very helpful. :)

Why not use the Overdrive Media Console/app instead? If it ain't broke, it doesn't need fixing. Sticking with the overdrive media console and app. No libby

Yup. That’s my complaint. Why isn’t every book ever made available with unlimited borrows. Got lucky with my 1st book being available, but everything else has many people in line.

I cannot download audiobooks using Libby to my small MP3 player which I clip to my baseball hat. I can download to my phone, but I don't want to carry a phone when jogging. I miss OverDrive that loaded audiobooks so easily on my MP3. Unfortunately OverDrive was canceled on May 1, 2023.

I also use OverDrive for my MP3 player. My library system still allows OverDrive downloads FOR NOW. The future is unknown and I fear I wouldn't be able to download audiobooks. 😒

Why would there be a limited number of digital copies or digital audios of a book? That seems like an artificial constraint. I wonder why they chose to do that.

I think it might have something to do with ensuring that authors/publishers are paid properly for book copies.

Similarly to when I library purchases five physical books. The library purchase five rights for their patrons to read five copies. I realize that Digital offers the ability for hundreds of people to read a book. However if the library only owns the rights to five digital copies there’s gonna be a white line

When a book that I have been waiting for in Libby is available I have the option of passing to the next person if I’m not ready to read it. I’m next in line. This can be done once.

Not to be a smart ass, technically the library is not free. In Ohio we pay property tax on our home. A portion of that goes to the library. Whether I use the library or not I still have to pay property tax. I find it a good value as I am a patron of the library and frequent the use of their services.
