Do ISP and library know what we read when we borrow books from platforms, such as Overdrive, with public library accounts? p.s. first post + app glitch can’t enter new line.

Overdrive ain’t great.

Damn. We need a FOSS server but publishers probably would not agree. Not having to make and link a middleman account would be a bonus though. Client could probably be arranged for on some devices but even on Kobo which isn’t really locked down I would not consider running unofficial software beginner friendly.
Thank you for linking this. I read through it all, and as an avid Libby user, what quite disheartened. I just checked to see if my library has any other ebook options, but they don’t.
Me too, I had no idea. Though I have been part of the old cranky crowd that resisted Libby as long as possible in favour of Overdrive.
Thanks and TL;OS (too long only skimmed). May I ask how to summon a summary bot here?
I think @ autotldr@lemmings.world? Give it a try
Sorry for lurking too much…how to use the bot?
