An update on the Dolphin EasyReader app not connecting to RNIB Reading Services. There may be a quicker way to do this, but I contacted Reading Services and arranged a password reset on my library password. I changed the password, then logged in to make sure it worked.
Next, I uninstalled EasyReader, reinstalled, signed into my Dolphin account, then tried to connect to RNIB Reading services. After entering my new password, it connected no problem at all and I’ve been able to download some Talking Books as usual.
If you’re having problems with EasyReader, I’d suggest this method of fixing the issue.

Is anyone else having problems with Dolphin EasyReader? When I try to connect to RNIB Reading Services, I get an error message saying it has used an incorrect username or password, with no option other than OK. According to RNIB, there was a problem but it has been fixed, and all I should do is log out, log in, restart phone, reinstall EasyReader and possibly turn in circles while waving one hand in the air. Over the past 24 hours, I’ve reinstalled the app 3 times and it still won’t connect. It’s getting beyond frustrating now.

For #audiobooks , I choose Libro.fm because it supports my #local #indie #bookstore.
That is, for books I can't get through the #LibraryOfCongress #TalkingBooks program.
I also accept free trials from #audible and use those to grab exclusives.
I tried Libby and it was confusing. It's been a minute, so maybe I should try again.
