Well, it hasn't hit me yet, but it's about to.
Fall, winter, spring, I listen to Libby books on the app without issue. But summer is different. Every summer, I counted on Libby to populate my waterproof MP3 player. I love to swim but swimming has its tedious aspects, totally obviated when you've got a good audiobook playing. There's always Downpour, I suppose, but that could get pricey. Or, I could finally figure out how to strip DRM from Audible books. The problem there is, I shamefacedly admit, is that my Audible purchases have always tended to be heavy, long and worthy. More bang for the buck, y'know? Whereas, when I'm swimming, I want to listen to if not outright junk, at least books at the lighter side of the spectrum.
Not a happy camper. It infuriates me that Libby was unwilling to acknowledge the "access" issues with their change in policy, nor that it would weigh most heavily on the most disadvantaged.
