    Social media took up the place in my life for most of my reading, that has since changed since finding a Library app for books and, of course, the nazification of most platforms

        Libby is (I just found out) one of several apps that let you read anything digitally available at your library, there are some other libraries that allow you to get a card for a small fee.

        upside- Can read on your phone (I use dark background with while letters). can have more than one library other apps allow movie and digital media borrowing

        downside: popular books have multiple people waiting in line for a copy, you can place holds, etc.

          Not gonna lie, I looked into this at my local library and seeing a waiting list for an ebook radicalized me against capitalism just that little bit more

            Well then…let me just also introduce you to https://onlinereadfreenovel.com/

            there are others like this if you don’t want to wait for a library book…they get revenue from ads (nothing obnoxious) so it’s legit(?).
