Libby / Overdrive for ebooks are a racket. The publishers sell ‘disposable’ licenses that expire after something like only 20 uses or a few years, whichever comes first. Support your local library, but don’t support greedy publishers.
- therealdrag0 3y agoDon’t libraries negotiate the licensing? If I want digital copies what else can I do? Libby or Amazon which is worse?
