[Electronics-Talk] accessible book reading apps

[Tracy Carcione]

I tried Libby a couple years ago when my library switched to it, but I
didn't find it accessible at all.  There's even a blurb in it that says they
know it's not accessible, and they're "working on  it", but I have read
every update summary since then and seen nothing about improving
accessibility.  Surprise surprise.

Like I said, getting this set up with my public library is still on my to do
list, but I thought the service Overdrive wasn't going away, but the app you
would use to access is switching over to Libby, which is a more accessible
app.

Hi. Just FYI, that overdrive's going away later this month, they're wanting
everyonge to switch to libby. I'm on android and after learning that tried
libby finding it to be much improved in terms of accessibility, so am sure
it is on iOS too. I agree, try hoopla and libby if your library offfers
both.  Ours does and they're nice book sources. Can't have too many books in
my mind.
