Used every day
Audio books, podcasts, and music are what get me through the workday. As a writer I'm a huge consumer of books, libby helps to keep that obsession affordable. My local library usually stocks the latest and greatest audio books. Though the wait times are not ideal, it's still worth it to use the app.

I started listening to audio books back in June when I had to do a 14 hour drive to NY. I've learned so far that I prefer audio books narrated by females rather than males. Men tend to drone and it doesn't make for a good drive!

Yes! I've listened to the Wicked series by Janet Evanovich and I never wanted to stop. There is also a book by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley called The War That Saved My Life. That was super good, the narrator also had an accent.

Great for eBooks
Like having a public library in your pocket. I used it, primarily, for audio books. I burned through the unabridged selection very quickly and stopped using it.

The eBook portion of the app is really good though. You can port it to almost any ereader and again, it is free just like the library.

If they would have a better selection of audio books that were not abridged, I would be back on this platform in a heartbeat.

Reliable and easy to use
I prefer Libby to the original overdrive app for reading and listening to my library books. Passages can now be highlighted in the ebooks on Libby. Audio is easy to navigate and bookmark. Browsing for books and audios are easy.

One downside is that the books/audios download automatically, I’d rather choose.

No bookmarks when listening to audio
Platform with potential
I appreciate the function that borrowbox is providing but it is not a slick platform at all. I use it for library ebooks and audio. Ebooks are easier to read through the app but audios are absolutely problematic to use. For audio, download is clunky, and the lack of bookmarks is a nightmare. It is so easy to lose your place. Searching for books takes patience. This is nowhere near the usability of its competitors overdrive and libby. Much development needed.

My first audiobook
For my first audio book it was good, problem was I could have finished the book sooner If I was reading it myself. But audio books is the only way I can read and work at the same time.
  
This was the kind of book that should be flipped through. Acoffee-table book, a book given to a history buff, a book to read to yourself. I found the audiobook boring and dry, and hard to focus on. Not all books are good for audio. This isn’t a reflection of the book, more the fact that it didn’t make a good audio production.

Good, but I don't know whether it's down to your local library as to what is available but I've found gaps in series of books. Not all are available and those that are tend to be either at the beginning or the end of series, with those in the middle missing. It needs work, but a good idea, and it feeds my need for audio books.

I Downloaded it because I wanted to listen to books while I was at work or cleaning at home but unfortunately, you only get a few free audiobooks and still have to pay for the others even though you pay monthly for them. Its not worth the money.
