My library uses the Libby app. You can choose to read books on Libby, or with Kindle. I always lean towards Kindle because it lets me post my quotes to Goodreads easier. I love using the LIbby app for audiobooks though!

It is nice that you have such a facility. I wish we had something like that here too.

Where are you?

We don't have libraries because nobody reads here, but I can still download the app.

Somehow I don't find the virtual library as satisfying as the real one, although my virtual library is larger than my real one.

That sounds interesting. I think I'll have to check that out for myself.

The app I use to borrow library books is called Libby. Ever since I've started using it my reading has increased ten fold. I get to reread old books, I get to place holds on books that are currently unavailable, even extend current holds. Technology is awesome.

I use Kindle for PC and Moon+ in a tablet to read, mainly the latter.

I agree. It’s probably one of my most well used reading apps on my phone and computer. It great to check it out because usually your library will have more variety through the app. If they only have one copy of the book you want, you are able to place yourself on a waitlist for the book and get Notifications when the book becomes available for you to borrow.

I also use kindle for all my virtual or digital book reading. I also use my desktop to manage the reading contents. I also use Goodreads to update my reading status. I think that is one best place to collaborate with all your reading progress.

It's definitely more convenient to have a virtual library. It doesn't take up literal space when you buy a ton of books.

If it's possible, I store the downloaded books in a folder titled "Library" in pdf, epub or other available formats on my computer and have multiple E-readers with which to open them. This way I have multiple methods by which I can read my books, with many options and features present in each.

I like your idea. I do that too. In some instances, I even choose to listen to the books.

Oh! I hadn't heard of this before! I'll check this out. Thanks for mentioning it!

Interesting. I haven't given GoodReads much thought. Maybe I should give it a try.

Oh yes, nothing beats the sights and sounds of a real library!
And yes, my virtual library is way larger than my real one too.
