This is like Spotify with audio books. They just casually drop the most garbage limitations on a service that highly restrict usage and then seem baffled by a lack of uptake.

I listened to the limit on Spotify ONCE and then realized how it worked and just went of I won’t ever use that at all and I damn sure won’t add fucking minutes to it.

I only listen to audiobooks that are less than 15 hrs on Spotify for this reason. Even then, I always use my Libby + library card combo first, then Spotify second if they don't have it.

Libby and over drive are so good. Hoopla if you like comics and graphic novels.

If all else fails use any of those and get an ebook. But I have never had to go that far honestly.

I'm using Hoopla right now to listen to The Calamity Club! Really good book so far. And now have Hoopla as my new go-to for audiobooks since I'm liking the audio quality better than Libby. (Libby is still good for those reading this comment thread)
