Love Libby. One of the best "free" book apps available... although I don't think ppl realize these books aren't actually free. Your library has to pay a licensing fee and can only lend digital books & audiobooks X number of times before their digital copies "wear out". Then they're hit with a renewal fee to get a "new" book. So people shouldn't just check-out a ton of books they'll never read... cause they really aren't "free". The library is paying the publisher a hefty licensing fee w/ your tax dollars. Btw, can we get some content about your dog? Cat too if you have one. :)

The good thing about Audible is that you can actually keep the audiobooks you like especially if you have children and they like certain stories it just makes it easier to have your own little library of audiobooks that they like to listen to you can adjust speed a lot more than you can with the levee or overdrive. Yes audible is pricey it’s not free but it has a lot more books than Libby and overdrive combined there are a lot more books on audible that are not on those to other apps. Secondly or thirdly audible has (for popular books) such as Lord of the rings for instance multiple narrators options what I mean by that is they are multiple audiobooks you can pick from. Sometimes a narrator can make or break a book and it gives you the option to select the voice or the person you like most. Furthermore there are dramatized versions of some books especially for kids if you want them to get into certain books the dramatize version kind of brings it more to life I have sound effects background sounds and different actors for the different characters. PS classics such as around the World in 80 days or 20,000 leagues could be a little dry for kids to read but the dramatize versions make it really exciting.

So can you tell me an app that if I have the book on kindle that I’ve already purchased that it would read that book

Great video! Just want to mention that on Libby, I don’t think you can hold physical copies of books. Rather, you can borrow audio books or ebooks. I will often borrow both versions of a book I am reading and alternate between reading and listening.

Which is a good app that allows switching from listening to reading?

@ashleyslittlelibrary 2 жыл бұрын

I believe if you get a Kindle e-book and audiobook through Amazon they can sync up so you can switch between listening and reading! You could also try to get both e-book and audiobook formats through apps like Libby and/or Scribd, though I don't think they would naturally sync up. I do this sometimes and just switch over at the start of a chapter so I know where to pick up. Hope this helps!
