As an avid reader, I appreciate the vast catalog available on Libby. The ability to sync my reading position across devices is convenient. Yet, I wish there were more customization options for the ebook reader.

The read-along feature in Libby is excellent for sharing stories with my kids. Being able to define and search for words makes it educational too. A reliable app overall but could use improvements in user interface design.
