When I was poor about 5 years ago I couldn't afford audible. So I used the library. I'd buy paper copies of books with living authors, or support those authors directly if they were online enough to have ways to send them money.
As much as I hoover up books and audiobooks I know how to live without this app. I don't need to save the books I've already bought in it, I can find copies on pirate sites easily.
And I can check many books out from the library right on my phone! Audio books too!
