    Be sure to use notifications on Libby. When a book is ready to check out you have a shortish window of time to actually make the checkout before the material is offered to the next person on the list and you get bumped down the line. Also, be a good person and use the return early button when you finish the book so others in line get the material without having to wait for your borrow to expire.

    A tip for my fellow bookworms: there are several libraries that offer free digital library cards even to non-residents. You can have multiple library cards in your libby account. This should cut down on having to wait for holds or finding books that aren't offered by your local library.

    I do the airplane mode thing literally all the time! I put it on airplane mode and then I immediately return the book to my library and the next person can get it right away! My mom and I tried it on a book that only had one copy available and she was the only person waiting for it😂she was able to get the book after I returned it even though it was still on my kindle and not checked out to me anymore. Also as a side note, a lot of times the kindle gets confused and you end up being able to keep the book forever which is a perk lmao

    I would just like to mention, not all books on Libby are able to be read on the kindle. You have to look at the books information and under where it says ‘supports’ make sure it says kindle. I have ran into this with some books I have wanted to read. But I still love Libby. One of the greatest apps there is.

Choose the kindle option and it will take you to Amazon page where you will have to log in and then click that you want to borrow the book it will then send it to your kindle. I hope this helps. If you have any trouble maybe check out Libby’s website or even ask a librarian at your local library. I know my local library does classes on how to use Libby. I hope this helps Paul.

    I’ve had Libby for 2 years however didn’t know you could change the length of time to check out, I immediately checked my app but unfortunately my library must limit it to a max of 2 weeks. Also, I use the airplane mode trick on basically every book I get because I don’t read that fast, never thought that it might hold up the next person in line, will have to think that one over. Some books I had for so long before I turned the Wi-Fi back on, the library must have forgotten that it needed to return it and it stays on my kindle forever 😬

    As a Kindle and Libby newbie. this is likely a dumb question. But why is there a wait time at the library? I understand that the library has a limited amount of physical books but why would that be the case with digital books? the very nature of that media would seem that they should have an unlimited supply.

    • @dylancanread
      @dylancanread  2 роки тому +4

      You would think so! However, since the library doesn’t own the rights to the ebook, I assume that is why they treat ebooks like they treat physical books. In other words, since the library (I assume) has to purchase the ebook from the publisher, they limit the number they purchase based on budget and demand. At least I would think so.
      Great question! 😁

      This is the great irony of the e-book era. Essentially, the publishers want people to wait, so that more people will simply buy the book. There is no reason why every person waiting on a title shouldn’t have access immediately. It doesn’t cost more to provide instant access. Corporate greed in a capitalist society.

    Very informative. I use Libby a lot . It’s great to be able to press a button, and Wa-La ! A book is on your Kindle within the blink of an eye. I like the extra little doodads , like the “ flower 🌸 rainfall “ that happens when you return a book , and also being able to change the colors of your library cards. Quite a nifty little app. The only thing I’d like it to have is maybe star ratings on the books from other users. That way you’d see how popular it is, but maybe the library doesn’t want to influence people by rating the books ? Thanks.

    I just bought a paperwhite 6.8" signed into Libby, chose 2 books, clicked Kindle and it does not download to either my Amazon acct or the Paperwhite. I tried airplane mode and bluetooth both on and off and nope, doesn't work. checked also my wifi and it's the same. Frustrated.

    Another thing you can do is get the audible version at a discount when borrowing a Libby book. And you keep the audiobook forever.

    Cool, thanks for the video! Can Libby be used from a Mac or Windows machine (web browser?) or is it app-only? Does the Kindle feature let me read the book using the Kindle app on a PC, or is it just for Kindle devices?

    Hey Dylan! How are you? I was already logged in, so I didn’t have to log in. I’m having a hard time getting the book on my kindle. I don’t see “get library book”. It just says this library book has been claimed. Any idea what to do here? Thank you so much 🙏🏼

      I could be wrong, but I believe that Overdrive and Kobo are owned by the same parent company. I think that Libby is integrated directly within the Kobo ebook software.
