HOOPLA
If you are just looking for a way to read free books while you can't get to your library, take a look at Hoopla. Hoopla is a reading app I use almost daily. It's your public library on your phone or computer. If your public library is connected, you can borrow an ebook or comic without waiting or trekking to the library. If you use the app, your book will go with you everywhere! Just checkout the book and download it to your phone or tablet. When you have finished it, just check it back in on the app.
