I'm a big Kanopy fan and love to at least browse what they've got.
Another digital library functionality I use is [Libby](https://www.overdrive.com/apps/libby https://www.overdrive.com/apps/libby), which lets me read library books on my Kindle or Kindle App. Saves me and my wife hundreds of dollars a year on books!
- arafalov 4y agoLibby is - also - awesome. I use it with Kobo (choose on phone, then sync to reader). And they have both books and audiobooks too, so I stopped my Audible subscription for now.
- gedy 4y agoMy son is a voracious reader and Libby is wonderful!
- stinkytaco 4y agoIncidentally, Libby and Kanopy are owned by the same company and they are planning some further film discovery focused enhancements in the Libby app this year.
- gffrd 4y agoWant to second what a great app Libby is: it's like a "management" layer on top of your regular library experience, paired with integrating services seamlessly (libraries, eReaders) that makes it wonderful. Also, some really smart UX/UI decisions in the app. And: I'm super-jaded about this stuff, but find the subtle "delighters" and microinteractions actually helpful and enhance the experience.
- Rebelgecko 4y agoAnother nice thing is that their UX changes actually feel like steps forward. For example if you live in an area with overlapping libraries, the app has gotten much better at unifying the catalog info.
- bmm6o 4y agoWorth nothing that Libby also does audiobooks, which I've done a lot more of in the past few years.
