RB Digital used to make me download to an authorized device, but then I could move the mp3 files from that device to another device. If Libby is just adding a step or two to my ability to listen on my preferred device, fine, not a big problem. But if it's like Hoopla, where I'm absolutely forced to listen only with the Libby app, it's going to severely impact my library use.

Overdrive is using MP3 for audiobooks. The problem is that Libby is only available for iOS, Android, and the Web. Libby no longer works on Windows. So unless you have an Android phone or tablet where you can access the MP3 files from Libby, then Libby is not what you want.
