Lesson 8 Part 2 Challenge

I searched OverDrive and Hoopla for eAudiobooks on the topic of electricity. There was only one nonfiction title in each platform on the topic. Overdrive: The Boy who Harnessed the Wind, by William Kamkwamba Hoopla: The Story of Electricity, by Professor John T. Sanders Both were fairly simple to search, but I liked that Hoopla suggests categories to search within, as you can see in the image below.
Overdrive's advanced search has the functionality of searching within formats. If you do a basic search for a term, you can narrow your results using the limits, which is easy enough. I have to say, I vastly prefer Hoopla's browsing interface. I like the Netflix-style scrolling covers within categories as well as the large number of categories.
