A couple of years ago, I discovered an app called "Libby." It's incredible, plug in your local library card number, and you can borrow endless amounts of audiobooks, magazines, and books depending on how you like to read. Many members here would benefit from this app as most enjoy reading forums. I listen to audiobooks while at work, and it breaks up the monotony of just always listening to music. Hopefully, someone will benefit from this post if you didn't know about the app.

It's easy to use too

I am on that like a hobo on a ham sammich! I like audiobooks while I am tying jigs!

Wife constantly uses that app. Audio for the car and electronic for her Kindle.

Can you get Consumer Reports on it?

I haven't switched over to Libby yet. I started using Overdrive 17Oct17 and have read 439 e-books on it, mostly while sitting on the throne I keep getting a pop-up when signing in asking if I want to move to Libby, and I figure I'll eventually have to, but til then I'll stay where I'm familiar with the navigation. Does Libby keep track of what you've already read so you don't waste time getting the same book twice?

439 books sitting on the throne? You have wayyyyy to much time on your hands!

I did not think Overdrive was still operating. Thought you had to switch to LIbby to use Columbus Public Library

I'm basically retired so most people spend more hours on the job in one day than I do in a couple months. This month I worked ~6hrs and I've scheduled ~1 1/2 hrs for Feb. and I really enjoy reading. It isn't my 'hands' I have too much time on

Sure is, and it doesn't look like they plan on shutting it down any time soon. I've got holds on books that won't be released til June and July. I don't know if it's available to new subscribers, but I signed up over 5 years ago, well before Columbus library started pushing Libby.

You can't get consumer reports. But there are many fishing magazines like In-Fisherman, Trout and Salmon, Fly Fisherman, and tons more hunting and fishing magazines.

Yes it keeps track of when you last checked it out and the progress on where you left off or read.
