I think a lot of its content is documentaries and foreign films. I get
more use from the Hoopla digital app because I can download ebooks as
well as non-recent tv shows, movies, and music. But I can only d/l 10
titles per month. Which is fine for books, but for a long tv series, you
end up having to wait sometimes to finish a season.
