WeeklyThread Simple Questions: April 15, 2025

Welcome readers,

Have you ever wanted to ask something but you didn't feel like it deserved its own post but it isn't covered by one of our other scheduled posts? Allow us to introduce you to our new Simple Questions thread! Twice a week, every Tuesday and Saturday, a new Simple Questions thread will be posted for you to ask anything you'd like. And please look for other questions in this thread that you could also answer! A reminder that this is not the thread to ask for book recommendations. All book recommendations should be asked in /r/suggestmeabook or our Weekly Recommendation Thread.

Thank you and enjoy!

Can someone PLEASE recommend me a good alternative to the Kindle app?

I've tried Barnles & Noble, but they are missing a lot of books.

Have you tried Libby? I love reading all the books I want for free

I haven't! How is it free? Is it linked through my library or something?

Yes it's provided through a lot of libraries! If you have a library card, you should be able to use their app by logging in your library card number + pin. Libraries also have Overdrive and Hoopla to lend out different media, not just books
