This is the first version of this guide, so please share any feedback, and I'll include it in the next version.

And let me know if I missed any Canadian or Canadian adjacent companies :)

What is the symbol under the library apps?

[–] FallenWalnut@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It means they share their profits with others. In this case, they enable you to support nearby libraries and facilitate the process.

What's the point of "Environmental" under causes if none of them have it?

[–] FallenWalnut@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This is a generic format but you're right that it is confusing to keep in.

I appreciate the response 😅 my AuDHD forces me to ask dumb questions. If I don't, my head explodes.

I do wonder if Kobo is worth taking environmental, they do a lot of post-recycle plastic

Looks good, but I’m curious about sources showing to what extent Libby is profit sharing.

Kobo HQ is Toronto, but it’s owned by Rakuten of Tokyo so… not sure how to categorize that

What's with all the low res images on Lemmy? It happens often enough to be annoying.

I mean here is a perfectly informative graphic, if it were readable.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Very readable on my end. Might be your client?

Hey, true! I had no idea. I'm on Voyager, if I own it on Firefox it's fine!
