I really want to get into reading but i'm poor and i don't have money for books, but it's okay, because i prefer reading on my phone anyway 🥳. I just find book piracy on the phone so tedious because browsing the web on the phone in general is an awful experience. My adhd gamer brain also tends to gravitate towards the path of less friction, which means the easier i can make it to read the more i will naturally gravitate to reading whenever i have spare time.

Something like a Strem.io for books would be super helpful if it exists :D.

You're literally just describing libraries...They have an app called Libby, it's linked to your local library and let's you borrow eBooks directly.

Don't forget to check if residency is required for library membership! If not, go ham and collect 'em all! 🤩 Waitlists? Holds? Feh. No more!

Hvis det er dansk du leder efter kan du også låne danske ebøger i e-reolen appen
