I think it will also be a great way to cut back on the amount of books I own that I don’t love.

There are great apps like Libby, Overdrive, and Hoopla that allow you to browse your library’s ebook selection! I’m excited to use this when it comes to books I’m listening to on audio but maybe aren’t working. So you’re saving between $10-15 USD for a new release. Kindle prices vary, as there are generally a lot of deals, but on average a Kindle book is between $12-15 USD. How much do you save, on average, by purchasing an ebook as opposed to a physical book? This is going to sound so nerdy, but I have so much fun reading with the kindle. Most of the ARCs (Advanced Readers Copies) I get are digital copies, so I need a e-reader I want to pick up. It is also much heavier and I found myself not drawn to pick it up. Especially if I wanted to read in bed while Nick was asleep. Even with my iPad on dark mode/night mode, it was still too bright. The reason I wanted a Kindle was to cut back on blue light. It is so much smaller than I thought it would be and I love that! It’s lightweight and I really enjoy reading on it. It’s also waterproof so I’m excited to use it in the bath and pool this summer! First Impressions I bought this decal so that the border will be white since the paperwhite doesn’t come in white and I prefer it to the dark grey. Other questions?

Where circulation is limited and you might have to get on a hold list, hoopla provides tools to help us get your title to you faster.

Our hoopla collection includes over 500,000 items: eBooks, audiobooks, movies, music, TV shows, and magazines. Our Overdrive collection included approximately 30,000 e-books and digital audiobooks.

Focusing our e-resources budget into one service, rather than dividing between two, gets everyone more selection, more diverse content, and faster access. We strive to provide the best and broadest collection of print and digital resources we can for our patrons. Why couldn't we keep both Libby/Overdrive and hoopla for DPL patrons?

Hoopla runs through an app (either Android or iOS platform), and dedicated e-readers such as the Paperwhite or Oasis do not have the ability to install apps. Can I use hoopla with my Kindle Paperwhite or Oasis (or other dedicated e-reader)? The app can be installed on your tablet from the Amazon app store just like any other. With hoopla, instead you borrow, download, and read/listen/watch books, audiobooks, movies, and music all through the hoopla app. Yes! You may be accustomed to reading books on your Fire tablet through the Kindle reader (either books purchased through Amazon or borrowed via Libby).

Can I use hoopla with my Kindle Fire tablet? They should be available on hoopla by May 4. Much of our DPL-purchased content will migrate over to hoopla, but it will take a few weeks. When will the titles from Libby/Overdrive be available on hoopla? Hoopla also provides a convenient way for patrons to suggest titles for us to purchase, and we use those suggestions to help us purchase content. Recent updates to hoopla allow us to do the same with it, AND most of our DPL-purchased content from Overdrive will be transferred to hoopla. How can I get them now?įortunately, all the titles that were available to our patrons on Libby/Overdrive were there because we (or another library in our group) purchased them. My favorite books were available on Libby/Overdrive, but not on hoopla. Instead of paying for a platform we were planning to phase out, we could use that money to add more hoopla content. We know it was sudden, but we wanted to use the opportunity to our patrons' benefit. However, Overdrive unexpectedly allowed us to terminate early, freeing up funds we could then use to add more content to our hoopla collection. It was our intent to provide a slow migration over a period of months, as we expected we'd have to finish out our contract with Overdrive. Why was the move from Libby to hoopla so abrupt? Part of our digital collection (eBooks and digital audiobooks) is moving from Libby (the app for Overdrive) to hoopla!
