minus-squareacastcandream@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up15·11 months agoThis is a very important/good piece. I would really like to ask the writer their feelings on hoopla, which is not mentioned in here.  I thought they were pretty large, but apparently overdrive controls nearly the entire market?
minus-squareGospelofJohnny@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up4·11 months ago+1 for hoopla. Just discovered it last week at my local library, already on my second audiobook!
