Can I use Google Play without a SIM card? I listen to audiobooks and don't want to drain the battery on my personal phone so was going to buy a mini android and download Libby onto it and use that for listening to audiobooks but I don't want to buy one if that won't work. I have searched for my answer and can't really find anything. Once I have Libby on it I can just use my wifi so won't ever have to use a sim card. I only want Libby (free books through library) not audible. Thanks for any help!

You don't even need a phone.

Ok. Maybe you need a phone.

Technically, you correct. The best kind of correct! OP could use a tablet, a ChromeOS device, an emulator, I think even Google TVs have Play Store access...There's probably someone out there right now trying to use their smart fridge to access the play store
