Everand and KoboPlus are subscriptions services, much like Kindle Unlimited. Both services have 30 day FREE Trials (conceivably, if you read fast, you can read all my books FREE.)

Find my eBooks at your local library with [Overdrive/Libby](https://www.overdrive.com/search?q=sophie%20maddon), [CloudLibrary](https://cat.yourcloudlibrary.com/login), [Hoopla](https://www.hoopladigital.com/artist/sophie-maddon/18921668700)\*, and More. I support my book habit by frequenting my local library. Maybe you do, too. All my books are currently available to libraries through [Overdrive/Libby](https://www.overdrive.com/search?q=sophie%20maddon) (the most popular app), [CloudLibrary](https://cat.yourcloudlibrary.com/login), [BorrowBox](https://www.borrowbox.com/), [Hoopla](https://www.hoopladigital.com/artist/sophie-maddon/18921668700)\*, and more. If your local library loans out ebooks, but doesn’t have mine, they’ll have a way to request it. If your library doesn’t loan ebooks, you may be able to get a library card at a larger library system for a modest fee. Here is a [website](https://www.aworldadventurebybook.com/blog/libraries-with-non-resident-borrowing-privileges) that lists libraries with non-resident borrowing priviledges.
