As a retired librarian with a computer background, I have extensive experience with ebooks. There are much better ebook platforms(Libby, Hoopla, Kindle, Nook, etc…) I have been very disappointed since the library changed from Axis 360. I hope they reassess this choice
Even with Axis 360, you could not borrow books in the Kindle format. Apparently, Sumter County is too cheap to pay for the Libby app. It's surprising since they use no security for their books and movies. The movies do not even have locking boxes, so anyone can remove the disc, put it in their pocket, and walk out of the library.
