Hi Mairead,
I use Borrow Box all the time with Voice Over and love it.
Unfortunately I haven't found a way to refine by category properly,
but there is a handy button just beside the search edit field when
you've activated it to type which allows you to only see 'available'
books, so that at least gets rid of the ones which are on loan.
I agree about some books being on loan for ages, but often I find that
people will give them back earlier than expected, so it's not always
as long a wait as it says at first.
Hope this is of some help!
Kind regards,
Christina

Hi all,===========================================================
I am just wondering if many of you use borrow box with voice over on
the iPhone for audio books and how you find it? I always use Audible,
love it but when someone in my local library mensioned borrow box to
me the other day I said I would give it a try as its another option to
have. I got set up on it but don't find the search feature or
categories great for finding the type of books I like. For example,
if I am trying to find a book to read by geonra or category I just get
the names of different books and not things I can refine my search by
such as romance, crime or fiction. I borrowed 1 book just to see how
it works but any other book I found that I might be interested in is
out on loan and some of them are out for 6 months or more. I would
appreciate it if anyone has any tips on using this service and how I
might be able search for the type of books I like better.
Thanks and kind regards
