Lesson 8 Part 2 Challenge

I have been reading or "listening" to audiobooks for a long time now so I jump between each and every platform routinely.

Here is my comparisons:

 Overdrive: the widest collection of titles combined with the ease of the app. I listen to a lot of books on Overdrive as well as read eBooks. I also use this platform during the summer to download free audiobooks from http://www.audiobooksync.com/. I recently listened to Dean Koontz Odd Thomas even though I had already read the book.

OneClickDigital: This app used to be complicated to use but it has gotten easier. Full of classics, OneClick has started including eBooks too. It is not easy to browse and it constantly asks for your password. I have recently listened to Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. The audiobook worked well in wifi areas but had a hard time when I was not in wifi.

Hoopla:  I just finished The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty. I went from my phone app, to the computer website to my Nook with ease. Hoopla has the download feature that is nice if you are not able to stream. I had one problem syncing up between my phone and the website but I just closed out the browser and started again.
