(38,642 posts)One of the three had a very limited supply. The second had a good selection but required that I continue to live and/or work in the community - with repeated verification (and I no longer live or work there). I don't remember what the issues were with the third.
A former student of mine gave me a big enough gift card a few years back that I could buy a Fire tablet which came with a free Kindle unlimited subscription. That quickly got me addicted (it was around the time of Trump's election - and I needed to listen to something other than the radio during my drive time - ironically, the student is definitely Republican - and it wouldn't surprise me if she supported Trump). It was so much easier than (at the time) Overdrive - now Libby - with a much wider seletion of what I wanted. I used birthday and Christmas gifts from my parents for the next couple of years to feed my addiction, and two years ago asked my spouse for a 2-year subscription for Christmas.
In April, when I retire and have less income coming in, my current subscription ends. Maybe I'll explore the library app/supply again.
