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.
Here is a solution to the problem. It's an Android based waterproof MP3 player that will allow you to install the Libby app.
