If your library doesn’t use libby, call them up/check their website if they use a different service. Mine isn’t on Libby but they do use something called CloudLibrary. It’s clunky and they don’t have all the books I wish they did, but a fair amount, audiobooks too!

I also like to go to my local barnes & noble and just read for as long as I can in their cafe then put them back when I’m done (taking care to not stain/bend/damage the books of course.) Mines not that strict so I’ll bring my own tea/coffee a lot of the time. I’ve read many books that way, especially shorter fantasy books that typically don’t take me more than a sitting or two.

Finally check to see if Kindle/Audible/Nook have free trials or discounted intro rates. You don’t need a specific device anymore, they all have apps that let you read on your phone/tablet/computer now.
