Very happy I started using Libby for audiobooks! It's another great reason to have a library card. My only complaint is that I have notifications turned on for when a hold is ready, but they don't seem to work. I had a hold lapse and had to wait another couple weeks for the book because of this. Other notifications (like loan expiring) are working properly.

You link your library card which will vary by jurisdiction, but the app itself basically does everything you'd want. you can link it to an e-reader or just read in the app. It also has audio book functionality which can run in the background. I don't know how it works with accessibility apps because I have not needed to use those.

this is an AMAZING APP! As long as you have a valid library card and your library has the book you want to read avaliable you can read it with a click of a button! The one downside is with all of the popular books you have to wait in line for weeks. An example is I wanted to read Verity by Colleen Hoover and there is a 19 week waitlist until I get to read it and if you don't know how long 19 weeks is it's about 3 to 4 months so that's a downside. overall I think it's a very good app for readers!
