    I like Libby, but:

    • Their client for web browsers (on Windows at least) is really buggy with a touchscreen (Surface Pro)
    • I like it for magazines, but they compress the hell out of the images and it’s mildly annoying
    • I can’t read books on a Kindle as they only allow that in the US

    Still though, it’s free so I can’t complain too much.

      Yeah, I use those two almost exclusively for audiobooks but I can imagine Libby’s desktop interface for ebooks would be shit. I really can stand reading on a backlit screen though and haven’t been able to figure out a good Amazon alternative for an e-ink based reader.

        Other than Kobo, I think you are pretty much out of luck. I have been following e-ink developments for at least 10 years now, and there has never ever been a really compelling solution.
