Accessible? Yes... Intuitive? Meh... I don't have a problem with playing a checked out audiobook per se, but the playback speed picker can sometimes be picky and in general, there's a lot of extra scrolling and tapping that can make the app overall a chore to use sometimes. I do my audiobook searches and whatnot on the website with my PC, but for me anyway, the audiobook player in the app is fine so I do all my listening on my iPhone. Hoopla's really a good service. I’m fortunate in that I have a Los Angeles Public Library card which is like the second or third largest library system in the US. Therefore, their catalog selection s quite vast. I've saved myself a ton of Audible credits by checking Hoopla and the other library systems I'm a member of first to see if they have a particular title before pulling the trigger on Audible. The one thing that sucks about Hoopla and Libby for that matter; for those of us who are members of multiple library systems, is that you can't do a global search with all the systems you have a library card to like you can on Overdrive.com.

In addition to Hoopla, there's also Canopy. It's been a while since I brought them up, but I believe everything is accessible except for the players. If I remember correctly, they're still usable but you can't get to all of the features, like fast forward, rewind, ... You will need a library card, but other than that, they're free, so you can check them out with no risk. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) =>÷ Chaltain at Outlook, USA -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Arnold Schmidt Sent: Saturday, July 15, 2023 11:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Is Hoopla Accessible? I found out about them from a sighted person as one more source of audio books.
