Interesting topic. We live in Sumter County and use Boundless and occasionally Hoopla for ebooks. We also pay $40 per year for a library card in Lake County. I did not know that Lake County residents could get a Sumter County library card for no charge yet we have to to pay for Lake County library card. This makes no sense to me and something should be changed to make it fair for both county residents.

I read about 1 book every week to 10 days so I check out a lot. I find that Boundless has a better selection than Hoopla. I also don't like the daily check out limits with Hoopla. I am a bit frustrated by all three, Boundless, Hoopla, and Cloud Library (replacing Libby), as none seem to have available the entire series of books by one author, or they will have a combination of ebooks and audio books for a series. I do not like to listen to audio books.
