It is decentralised, so it is considered a global company.

Xigxag is mentioned, but you’re right that I forgot to include BookBeat. The others are US based apps but support your local library/bookstore

Thanks for the suggestion! Will add it to the next version of the guide.

Another shoutout to the “Library Extension”. It will help you find alternatives should Storytel not have the option you want.

This is the first version of this guide, so please share any feedback, and I’ll include it in the next version.

Note: I include the services that directly support local libraries and/or are non-profit organizations

It is mentioned in the deep dive :) https://lemmy.world/post/27983334

I also have EU and Canada-specific editions, but don’t want to spam.

Thanks for sharing my posts! Didn’t realize they were being shared here.

I have revived the community with the latest versions - hopefully the newer ones addressed some of the previous feedback.
