I mostly lurk in these threads, but as a library worker, thanks for asking this! Patrons using our digital collections is what helps us justify the funding for them. Every borrow counts.

And yes, the Libby website is what we point everyone to for PC use. It's the official, supported, and most user-friendly path. Glad to see so many people confirming it here.

In the end, the 'app' is just the door. The real treasure is the library itself—this ancient, resilient institution that has adapted to the digital age so gracefully. That you can access centuries of human storytelling and knowledge for free, on a machine you already own, with a few clicks, is nothing short of miraculous.

The specific tool—browser, downloadable app—matters less than the fact that the system exists. Experiment with Libby's website, try Hoopla, see what your library offers. The goal is to connect with the books. Any tool that gets you there, supported by your library, is the right one.

What free PC reading app syncs ebooks across devices?

For strictly PC-to-PC sync (like a desktop and a laptop), Windows has a feature called 'Roaming App Data' for some apps, but few reading apps use it. A more reliable method is to use a portable version of your preferred reader (like Sumatra PDF portable) stored in a Dropbox folder. Run it from Dropbox on both PCs. The app's settings and, sometimes, recent file lists and positions are stored right there in the same cloud folder. It's a clever hack that makes the app itself sync along with your books. Requires finding or making a portable app version, though.

Which free Android reading app offers built in library borrowing?

especially since my library consortium pushed it. It aggregates content from multiple sources, including libraries that use the Palace Project. The borrowing process is straightforward, and it supports multiple library cards in one app. The reading experience is functional, if not as flashy as some commercial apps. It feels like a tool built specifically for library patrons, which I appreciate.

Librera Reader is another open-source Android app that's a powerhouse. The library view is highly configurable—you can create custom tags, use multiple libraries, and apply advanced filters. It feels like the mobile cousin of Calibre in terms of options. The interface isn't the most intuitive, but if you love tweaking settings to get everything just right, it's a fantastic free option. It also handles PDFs and comic book formats brilliantly.

Which free online book apps sync libraries across devices?

Project Gutenberg has over 70,000 free ebooks, but their official app doesn't sync your library or progress. It's just a portal. Many people download from Gutenberg and then import the file into a syncing ecosystem. That's the two-step process. There's a newer app called 'Serial Reader' that delivers classic public domain books in short, daily serialized chunks. It's a fantastic concept, and it syncs your subscription list and which day you're on across iOS devices via iCloud. It's not syncing a full library of arbitrary books, but for its specific purpose, it works seamlessly. It’s a good example of a free, niche app that built sync in by design. For a more general solution, the app 'Pocket' can be used for reading articles and long-form web content, and it syncs perfectly. Some people save web novels or fic to Pocket. It's not a book app per se, but it handles progression sync for text you save from the web, which overlaps with the need.

How do library integrations work inside a free books reading app?

It's magic. No, really, it feels like magic. One minute you're putting a hold on a new bestseller, the next week you get a push notification that it's ready, and you tap to download. The integration is so seamless in apps like Libby that you forget you're not just buying from a store. The audiobook player is decent, the ebook reader is fine. My only gripe is that sometimes, if your internet is spotty, returning a book early can be a hassle. But for bringing the library to my phone, it's a game-changer. I haven't paid for an audiobook in years.
