Absolutely brilliant would 100% recommend. Register with your local library in the UK use anywhere in the world. E books or Audiobooks. Really quick downloads, loads of variety. Fiction & non fiction. Adults and kids. One thing that would improve would be a filter option for books that are on loan or available. Thanks for such a great app and service.

Borrowbox is one of my favourite apps if not the best one that I have installed. How brilliant it is that it's free you just need a library card. You can read books from this app or listen to them like an audiobook. Tell people to use it especially your grandparents or the elderly as reading is good for the brain. Read or listen to Jim kwicks novel called limitless to see how reading is good for you mentally.
