        True. Libby and Hoopla are also nice apps on a Kobo eReader.

          Do kind of wish that they had less silly names, though.

          It’s hard to recommend them without sounding like you’re just babbling nonsense.

          If you get Libby and Hoopla for your Kobo, you don’t need Ploob, no matter how much Ploob has it for you.

            coming up with a new name for something that isn’t already trademarked can be frustrating, let alone a list of names to choose from for an executive board or committee. i totally get how people eventually end up at “yea, this name sounds dumb af, but it’s unique and not already taken”

          Can you get Hoopla? It could be that mine is a bit too lightweight to run it, but so far I’ve only had Overdrive access through direct OS integration.

        I buy used paperback books even when I could buy them new. I feel no guilt that none of my money is going to the author.

      And send.djazz.se to transfer the epubs from my phone.

      Also works to send them straight to someone else if I don’t feel like explaining annas archive.

      My kobo is old. Idk about the new ones, but the browser is in “beta features”.

      I‘d add in KOreader so you can remotely access Calibre through OPDS.
