PRO TIP: The Queens Library in New York will let anybody anywhere in the world get an e-library card, which you can then use to check out books directly to your device (including Kindles.)

Getting a Queens Library card was probably my single best financial decision in 2022.

EDITED TO ADD: It costs $50.

EDITED AGAIN: You may need to set up an account on Amazon.com for kindle reading.

@jacobsw you can probably listen on Libby and not even need the Amazon subscription

@James @jacobsw I use Libby to listen to audiobooks, but it’s not as good as the OverDrive app because when I leave the land of cell reception, even though it shows the books as “download it” it won’t allow me to listen. At least with OverDrive it was downloading the files somewhere I could actually see them. I can access the books on kindle using Amazon, but I’m not sure if it requires that you are an Amazon subscriber or not.
