An app is just another name for a program. Ook is fond of the banana-recipe-review app on his iBanana Jnr. 2000.
Thing 20: Oh no, the iBanana Jnr. 2000 is not compatible with OverDrive. What will Ook do? Ah, Ook has an idea; he will use his friend's Kobo. There, that was easy.
Thing 21: Ook has borrowed and returned a library ebook. But wait, Ook didn't have time to read that library ebook. Not fair! Ook will sign it out again.
Thing 22: Now Ook will look at the BiblioNB app. Hmm. This is just the Android mobile device interface for BiblioCommons used by many libraries. Ook is reading reviews of this app. Some of them say it does not work very well on some devices. Does this app do anything that Ook cannot do with OverDrive or with the NBPLS website? Ook can browse new releases and log into his library account but ... oh dear, scan an isbn. No, Ook cannot do that with OverDrive. He cannot do it with his device, either. Ook's device has no camera. Darn, Ook is feeling defeated by antiquity today. Ook needs to find richer friends with newer devices.
Ah, Ook has found a friend with a shiny almost-new device. Now he can play with his apps.
