I often find non-resident library cards are a better bang for my buck, rather than an Audible subscription, so, the below are ones I still pay for.

Queens Public Library
Queens, NY
Cost: $50 / year

Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh, PA
Cost: $60 / 2 years

Note that Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh requires you to email them a state ID so I will let that one go, and replace it with,

Fairfax County Public Library
Fairfax, VA
Cost: $50 / year

I need book recommendations, preferably #cozyMystery or #cozyCrime.
I'm in chapter 3 of "Every time I go on vacation, someone dies" by Catherine Mack and I just can't. I see no way I'll make it through this book, please give me something more worth my time. :blobhaj_plead_1:

Nach kurzer Recherche habe ich nun ein #Pocketbook. #Onleihe und #Overdrive bzw. #libbyapp sind integriert und das Ausleihen von #ebooks bei der #vöbb funktioniert einwandfrei. Dateien von meinem #Linux Rechner kann ich außerdem per Kabel einfach rüber kopieren, oder über #calibre verwalten. Kein Adobe oder Windows notwendig.

Nettes Extra: ich kann Notizen und Anmerkungen im Dokument mit dem mitgelieferten Stift erstellen. Klappt bisher alles ganz reibungslos.

@starkraving666 I’m on a bit of a book binge and have been sharing the cover of each book I read. As most are ebooks from the local library (shout out #libbyApp) the covers vary

Decided to use the #LibbyApp and resurrect my Kindle 2.0 and discovered the lithium battery is permanently dead. Used #iFixit to open and take it out and have ordered a replacement from a random Amazon seller. Hopefully it will arrive in a few days 😐

Currently listening to "What's Our Problem: A Self-Help Book for Societies" by Tim Urban on Libby for free through my local library.

Can't wait to get my hands on the hardback copy.

Other audiobook readers, this happened to me on 3 different apps now so I wanted to alert others of this. As I usually do, I look up what new books my favorite narrators have narrated. Now, when I click on the narrator name, I am treated with audiobooks with their AI clone instead of their human narration. I already checked. That narrator is alive and still is recording audiobooks. Always listen to audiobooks before you make a purchase/borrow. Even now, it is incredibly obvious which ones are AI and which are narrated by the original human. This has happened to me on Hoopla, Libby, and on Audible so far. I know the audiobook narrator I looked up works for Recorded Books. It would not surprise me if they claim that they will never produce AI narrated audiobooks and then turn around and exploit their narrators without them knowing about it.

I took the liberty of emailing the narrator about this. This was his reply.

Robert,

Thank you very much for alerting me about the clone of my voice. As a Black narrator, this deeply troubles me, especially since I did not make this clone nor did I authorize it's creation. I will be extra vigilant as to what publishers I work with in the future and will make my displeasure very clear. I cannot thank you enough for your advocacy and for alerting me. In a hostile world that's more than willing to embrace this technology, we desperately need more people such as yourself.

Thank you again, my new friend!
