Hoopla definitely sounds interesting. It has some good videos, and I could mirror those to my TV from my iPad. I haven't done a comparison yet to see if they duplicate what I already have access to from Prime. |
Thanks for the article. I'll read it later.
Hoopla's neat, but it does have restrictions. Borrow times are short for videos (3 days) and music (7 days). For audiobooks, you get 21 days. But the biggest restriction is the number of titles you can check out each month. I have four Hoopla libraries and you can only borrow 10, 10, 12, 20 items per month; and that's not per category. Once you reach that limit, you're done for the month and have to wait until next month to borrow more. That's why it pays to belong to multiple libraries.
