Free Ebooks & Audio Books
If you haven’t had a reason to get or use a library card for years, today’s tip may encourage you to do so soon!
One of the best-kept secrets of the public library world is that thousands of ebooks and audiobooks can be borrowed for free as long as you know how it’s done.
An app called Libby brings this awesome capability to your smartphone as long as you have a valid library card.
It allows you to search for available titles, sample the ones you’re interested in and borrow them from the libraries associated with your card.
You can download them for offline use or stream them to save the space on your phone.
The app synchronizes your bookmarks, notes and what you have on loan across all of your mobile devices, so you can start a book on your phone and switch to your tablet.
You can even send the ebooks to your Kindle, if that’s your preferred reading device.
