How to get ALL ebooks & audiobooks free - even if your library sucks!

[@ThexImperfectionist]

Thank you! Bonus tip: once you send a library book to your kindle, it'll stay on your kindle even after your loan has ended as long as you stay on airplane mode. That means you can take longer than 3 weeks to finish the book if you need, and it also means you can "return" the book on libby as soon as you get it and let the next person access it. It's a nice pay it forward, especially if it's a new/ sought after book. You'll of course lose the book as soon as you turn off airplane mode to receive a new book so this takes some strategizing but it helps if your luck is like mine and 4 of your holds are ready at the same time.

[@ra0333]

Wow super helpful! I’m a slow reader and sometimes feel rushed with bigger books

[@columbia2635]

I've not tried that but I've found that I have a grace period on my ereader, as long as I don't close out of the book or turn off the reader. It comes in handy when you know you only have a bit more to read. May have to try out your method, too!

[@alyse8667]

Can you give the basic steps that include putting the kindle into airplane mode to extend the period of time for reading/listening to an ebook/audiobook but still “return” it within the 21 days to allow the next person in line to read/listen? Is it this?: 1. In Libby/Hoopla/other app on phone (or computer?) do the Borrow. 2. Then, on the Kindle, right after the ebook/audiobook shows up, place kindle in Airplane Mode? 3. Immediately (to be a Good Samaritan) or within the time period requested, on Libby/Hoopla/other app, Return the borrowed item. 4. On your Kindle, when done reading/listening to all your borrowed items, turn Airplane Mode back ON.

[@ThexImperfectionist]

@@alyse8667 Yes. Once you "Borrow" on the Libby phone app/website, send it to your Kindle under the "Read With.." options, then open the book on your Kindle to make sure it's downloaded successfully and turn on Airplane mode on the Kindle. Then you can either "Return early" on the Libby phone app/ website, or just let the loan expire in the usual 14 or 21 days your library gives you. At that point it will appear on Libby that you have returned the book but it will stay available on your Kindle until you turn off Airplane mode. I have no idea how this affects whatever metrics libraries track of how their books are read, but I know the offline copy you keep reading doesn't prevent others on the waiting list from reading it, whether you return it early or let the usual loan period run out. Hopefully that made sense. It's the same process you would use to read any Libby loan on your Kindle. Just be sure to stay on Airplane mode and then any changes to your loan can't be reconized or updated until it connects to WiFi again.

[@pawemazurek2251]

Important - if you will keep your kindle offline too long, it will start losing battery faster. In my case the battery was losing 60 percent daily. I was about buying new kindle but then I turn wifi on and battery came back to normal.

[@tramasrarasoddplots]

You don't even understand how much you helped me. I am a farm worker with a tight budget. My work season will start pretty soon. So, I'm gonna commute around several counties...so, I'm gonna get me all these library cards!

@@MattsFantasyBookReviews do you have to buy a Kindle for this to work? Because, I have a MacBook, iPad and iPhone already. Don't want to spend another penny on anything else. And thanks for the great video. I haven't used Libby in years now, because it was impossible to navigate on my local libraries. I got fed up and stopped even trying. And I wasn't just not just me, anyone I had talked to at the time, was as frustrated as I was. Hopefully, they got their acts together since.

[@GummyDinosaursify]

I'm from a Michigan Library and A TON of Michigan Library collectives are partnered through Libby. You can use your home library card to log into about 10 other catalogs (around 100 or so Libraries). They recently updated it where it'll show all your saved libraries and if that book is available in any of them, regardless of which one you're searching. It doesn't actively tell you this, so ask your Librarian about it! (Or you can ask me, I dont mind)

[@tateseely]

Waaait what? Is this just for people who live in Michigan? What are the libraries called?

[@GummyDinosaursify]

@@tateseely Not sure how other Libraries in other states work, but a lot (if not all) of Michigan Libraries are part of a collective. So you have collectives like The Library Network, Mid-Michigan Library League, Suburban Library Cooperative, etc. The Libraries themselves work independently but other libraries in the collective allow for checking out things from other libraries in the collective with your home library card (there's other benefits too, but that's the main one). However on Libby all the collectives themselves are partnered. So everyone has their own Libby collection but we're all sharing them with each other, essentially making one GIANT Libby catalog across the state. Sorry it's kind of hard to explain without having images to show you, but essentially, your card gives you access to a ton more Libraries then just your home one. Digitally, you essentially have access to at least half the libraries in the state simply with one library card.

[@sw6118]

I’ve told people about this all the time. You can also get the app on your phone and use your car’s blue tooth to listen to a book while you drive as well. People insist they have to own the book. At this point I’ve given so many books to my library….I need the space at home.

[@dansmith3085]

Texas residents can use the Houston library's online catalog for free as long as you have a state ID. There is also the Texshare card which is a pass issued by your home library that let's you bypass the nonresident fees of participating in-state libraries. Also, do not forget about inter library loans for physical media - for a small fee your home library will organize borrowing the item from another library, potentially from across the country or even farther away. We currently only charge $3.75 at the library where I work.

Really glad I know about it, thanks to you, Matt! As a fellow CA resident, and thanks to your excellent advice, I will be doing a library quest this weekend driving through the LA/San Diego area and stopping at one library for each major library system and collecting cards from each to put into Libby and Library Extension. Already have three but should be at double digits after this quest!

Happy to have helped! Just make sure you look up those library systems to make sure they have libby. A huge majority do, but you don't want to waste your time going out of your way for one that doesn't have it.

For all the Canadians out there we can use Overdrive/Libby through Kobo, was one of the reasons I went Kobo instead of Kindle when choosing an ereader last year. It's worked very well so far!

[@sampsoon9269]

Thanks for the tips matt. I use libby for audiobooks in Canada. I wasn't aware that kindle couldn't connect to the system when I bought it. I'll definitely look into kobo in the near future - It wouldn't take long to gain my money back.

I live in AZ, and I have a paid card in the Orange County Library System. I got it right before Covid hit in 2020. I also have access to two other state systems, because I own property there, and pay property taxes. So with my AZ card, I can look for books in 4 different library systems. This saved my sanity during Covid-time. Not to mention saving a lot of money.

@@rishabhtripathi6380 A library card? Where do you live?

[@RecordingsofaReader]

I've heard of the reciprocal agreements between library systems before. Unfortunately, where I live we have to pay a fee to use the neighboring systems. It used to be 40 dollars for each one. I'm not sure if it still costs the same, because I haven't checked in years. 40 dollars isn't that much considering how much money I could save on books, but so far Hoopla and my local library have been good enough for me, so I haven't needed to pay to use another system. I get 3 borrows a month on Hoopla. It seems to vary with each library system. I know someone who gets 8 and another person who gets 10. I love the library system add on. It makes it so much more convenient to see where the books are available.

[@tgibridays]

Well done covering this, Matt. Like you, I go through a ton of audiobooks a year this way. I don't have quite as many library cards as you, but I have definitely saved hundreds if not thousands using my library (or more accurately libraries). Thanks for pointing out that chrome extension. I didn't know about it and it should save me a lot of time! A couple of other things I'd like to add having used Libby and Hoopla over the years. I have heard that the send to kindle feature doesn't quite work the same when you're not in the US, but I could be wrong. Most libraries welcome requests from their patrons and they generally have a budget set aside for purchasing digital titles every quarter or so. So don't forget to request titles! Out of the dozen titles I've requested I've only had one or two rejected because of budget restraints. Remember audiobooks cost them a lot more so if it's a lesser known title requesting the ebook might workout better. You do generally have to wait longer this way (especially if someone else jumps on checking it out before you get to it). A tip for ebook readers who don't read super fast, if you put your kindle into airplane mode after getting a library book, you can keep reading the book forever until you turn off airplane mode even if you return the book on Libby or your loan expires. This came in super handy when I was reading Deadhouse Gates, since it took me like 5 weeks to read instead of the given 3. Final thought, I really wish Hoopla had the kindle/e-reader integration that Libby has since they also carry lots of ebooks and graphic novels, but it's really only useful if you read on an iPad since you have to use the hoopla app.

[@carlwilliams9642]

Thanks Matt for bringing Hoolpa to my attention. It's going to be nice to be able to bypass my library's wait times in Libby if need be. I usually like to have hard copies of my books but I'm an incredibly slow reader and using Libby to listen to audiobooks on my commute greatly helps my reading speed. But there are times where there is a wait time for the audiobook and my reading speed returns to it's old sluggish self.

I checked NM and found that Santa Fe libraries, at least, will issue cards to anyone with a library card from another city in NM. This is really useful. Albuquerque Public Libraries also lend music online in addition to books and audio books, which is something I hadn't expected. Perhaps this facility was expanded during the Pandemic.

Kindle is $12 a month so not free. I use it but it really isn't cost effective enough because I don't seem to get through those as quickly, probably because it doesn't have that expiration that a library book has. Library - yeah - but there are issues with that, like availability and, the library doesn't seem to carry too many "older" books as ebooks. Sad. My library also doesn't boot you out if you miss the deadline to check out a hold, inserting you in when you reinstate the hold. And love the feature where we can "control" when to check out a book. I also use Hoopla extensively - has a pretty good selection - but you're limited on the number, as well as time deadlines. BTW, I recently logged back into my library after a "vacation" and it gave me an option to automatically have the books sent to my Kindle - I didn't even have to go into Amazon to do it!

Hoopla is the better piece of software becasue you can stream or download. Libby is streaming only, but you can enter all your library cards an see everything that is available in all of them..

This is pretty sick and very helpful. Wish I wasn’t weird and was able to borrow but I just have to own my books 😬

[@MattsFantasyBookReviews]

Lol, I used to be the same way!

How does it work if you get to the end of your three weeks and you haven't finished the book? How can they retrieve it from your kindle?

[@MattsFantasyBookReviews]

Once it goes online it gets removed. I believe if you stay offline it will stay on your device.

Has anyone ever done this with a library in an area where they travel to occasionally for work? I work out of state for a company based in the Detroit area, and I noticed a lot of libraries have the verbiage of being cards for people who live OR work nearby

[@GummyDinosaursify]

A lot of Libraries do offer "Business" cards as long as you can show proof of employment in the area. There may be some limitations on cards, but usually you have access to Libby.
