I see Big Finish selections in the link you provided. So, this is providing digital "library loans" of audio, apparently? Is it connected to a particular library system? I've never seen something like this before. Wonder what the legality of this is, too, in terms of Big Finish's rights to their materials?

i havent done the library app and digital lone thing my sister does and she loves it i set up my moms ipad with one of the apps. one of my sisters gave her an ipad but she really didnt take to it. but while i was researching it there are 2 major apps but there seems to be a few. so its really odd to think that you have THE LIBRARY but all these different ways to access it. i was checking out hoopla's comic selection and they have all the archie and sabrina horror books i want to read. i need to get a library card.

Here, borrow this download, but delete it later please....Yeah, right. |

You don't download the movie, you watch it on streaming. Except that with this it's a library loan, and I'm guessing you listen on the app on your mobile device. |

Just have to wonder if it will translate to more sales, or less. |

I haven't been in my local library for three or four years, but I'd very much doubt they had any the limited selection of audiobooks was IIRC mostly still on casette...
