archersangeltoday i got an e-mail from booklender that they are under new ownership. you might recall that back in may 2024 they decided to fold up because of because of rising costs & lower membership.
the e-mail said, in part, that they are improving customer service (which probably means a call center somewhere on the planet, instead of calling their office in virgina).
expanded book collection; i wonder if they sold off many books when they shut down?
faster deliveries; possibly more then one fulfillment center? i wonder if they will still have CD and MP3-CD audiobooks.
all of this probably means higher prices, but when i checked their site the price list still looked the same.
i have no intention of signing back up (that $15 a month can go towards youtube tv), but i'm just passing this along if someone reading this wants to check them out.
icon refers to what were the odds of this happening?
