Hello Everyone, After reading several posts, here on the list, I decided to really give Libby, the public library app for borrowing both audiobook and e-books, a try.
Until this point, I've been a big fan of Over Drive. Well, after forcing myself to delete the Over Drive app from all of my devices, I must admit that Libby does seem to have more to offer for those of us using VoiceOver. The feature I like most about Libby is that now one's book location is synchronized across all associated devices. This behavior has long been a feature of both Kindle and Audible. Now, if only the BARD app would add this feature . I have contacted Libby tech support to see if there is a way to search a libraries catalog via the book description field either instead of or, in addition to, the book title field. For example, I may want to search a catalog for all books with the phrase and/or words, "lost at sea," in the book description. I hope this is possible. One feature that I cannot seem to locate in Libby that was / is a part of Over Drive is the ability to see titles similar to any given title, currently in focus. For example, If I have the book, The Davinci Code" in focus, I would like to see similar titles listed, as well. In Over Drive, six similar titles were always displayed with any book in focus. Just as an FYI, I received a notice, yesterday, that Over Drive will be discontinued in 2023 so the developers are strongly recommending that everyone switch to Libby.
