I have an unlocked Nexus 4 and love it. But then, I don't use it as a phone. To me, it's a shirt pocket tablet. No card slot though.

During the remainder of your trial, you could make a list of the audiobooks you want, then borrow-buy-return until finished. It's a shame your public library is dropping OverDrive. That rules out doing the above via that route.

I think I'm going to have to rejoin FLP, as my library's switch to Axis 360 means I can't get audiobooks, or Kindle books to get the Whispersync prices. Actually, that ties into the tablet/smartphone issue--I can't even try Axis 360 with my current version of Android. Woe is me! Such first world problems! |

Built-in obsolescence. Device is still good but OS is no longer being upgraded. Then apps come along that require newer OS, thereby turning working device into fancy paperweight. |

Seems like libraries should be trying to be more accessible, not less. It's horrible! I need to make a YouTube video like Weird Al! |

Have you contacted your library and expressed your dissatisfaction? In the past, I have voted against bond issues and tax increases for my library when I was not pleased with them. |

I have also used Axis books via ADE. I only couldn't use hoopla audiobooks because it was either use pc or android device. I have never tried to listen audiobooks on pc.

I used the library's online feedback form to write a long complaint when they first announced the switch. A site glitch (or maybe it was intentional!) made it disappear into a black hole when I tried to submit it; at that point I was far too angry to make any sense so I refrained from trying again. Overdrive is apparently too expensive for my library, which has other priorities:

How's your Axis selection and size? Can't you get a free Brooklyn library card? Brooklyn has one of the largest OverDrive ebook collections in the country. It's almost 3x larger than FLP. Quote:

Then contact your state reps and let them know your displeasure. If that doesn't produce results, let them know how unhappy you'll be on election day. |
