Look, most of these reading apps are garbage, but BorrowBox? It's actually practical. I can download audiobooks for my commute, or ebooks for when I'm prepping veggies and need something to listen to. It's connected to the library, so it's free as hell, which is key when you're running a business. I can't be dropping dough on books every week, especially with the price of goddamn tomatoes these days. It's quick enough to browse during a lull in the dinner rush, and the interface ain't some fancy BS – just straight to the point, which is how I like my apps. Plus, no late fees? You kiddin' me? I'm always late on something, so that's a godsend. It's like mise en place for your phone, keeps your mind fed without breaking the bank. And that, my friend, is a win in my book.
