Same. I have also moved to listening to audiobooks while I work. I just started the Witcher during my shift yesterday.

Get the Libby app. You can connect it to your local library and check out books whenever you feel like it.

I tried but my local library has no selection and I can’t get to connect to Libby, so i’m trying to see if i can register with another county’s library system, but it’s seeming like I can’t 😢

It is difficult. A lot of libraries require you to provide proof that you’re a resident of the county to get a card.

There are some counties around the United States that don’t have that requirement, though. They charge you money to get the card.

Here’s a site that has a breakdown: https://www.aworldadventurebybook.com/blog/libraries-with-non-resident-borrowing-privileges

Per Rule 3.6: No distribution or solicitation of pirated books.

We aren't telling you not to discuss piracy (it is an important topic), but we do not allow anyone to share links and info on where to find pirated copies. This rule comes from no personal opinion of the mods' regarding piracy, but because /r/books is an open, community-driven forum and it is important for us to abide the wishes of the publishing industry.

A lot of big city libraries are open to state residents in general. Here on the east coast, NY residents can get a NYPL card and PA residents can get a Philadelphia library card, both of which have tons of ebooks. Maybe your state has a library like these!

I read using Libby/Overdrive for a good while but it ended up feeling restrictive and I'm sad about it. Wish my library had more selection on there. I read a lot of books and loved it! but it was like each time I had to search more and more to find something to read. now I go get real books from the library again.
