This might not be a very pirate thing to do but I cancelled my Kindle Unlimited when I found out I could get all of them, for free, delivered to my Kindle app, from my city’s library via Libby. Books, graphic novels, audiobooks, manga, and more, just there for the taking.
With the way some people want to restrict and shutdown libraries these days, I’d say it’s very arrr.
And it’s just a smart use of resources too.
Libraries are entirely about the free sharing of information, and supporting everybody’s ability to access it. 👍🏼👍🏼
I frickin LOVE libraries. I don’t know about US ones, or even other European ones, but the one in my city is pretty awesome.
Yeah! Libraries here in the US can be really great, too. There’s an interlibrary loan program that allows people to request materials from any other library, and the information they carry isn’t limited to books, reference information, and magazines–they do movies, music, and video games, too, and some of them around me have 3d printers available for people to use. I used to live in a rural state, and I still had access to a global network of libraries out there. It was wild!
Libby (Overdrive) was sold to the Private Equity company that debt loaded and then bankrupted Toys 'R Us while giving their execs big money. Simon & Schuster books are also being sold to the same group. Since they took over Overdrive they’ve removed the easy ability to recommend books to your local library that you would like to see them buy for you, it’ll only get worse from here sadly.
That said, I too am using this function quite a bit as well.
I moved from a major metro area to middle of forking nowhere several years ago. I kept my library cards from the metro area, which still work for Libby ebook and magazine downloads, while the local rural library is tied into a regional system for the occasional dead tree book.
Me too. I am using my library card from Austin even though I moved to Wyoming.
This is why I chose to go with kobo over kindle. You still have overdrive/libby access, but can also import and organize all of your books via calibre.
