Do ISP and library know what we read when we borrow books from platforms, such as Overdrive, with public library accounts? p.s. first post + app glitch can't enter new line.

Thank you for linking this. I read through it all, and as an avid Libby user, what quite disheartened. I just checked to see if my library has any other ebook options, but they don’t.

Me too, I had no idea. Though I have been part of the old cranky crowd that resisted Libby as long as possible in favour of Overdrive.
