There are dozens of companies operating in the digital library space such as Baker & Taylor, Hoopla, LexisNexis, Overdrive, RBDigital, or Zinio. These guys primarily power the audiobook and ebook collections at your local branch. Some of the bigger libraries deal with more than one company, which has a huge impact on the number of titles available. What company does your local library deal with and what are your overall impressions of the service? Do you read all of the digital content within a dedicated app or send it directly to your Kindle or Kobo?
