I read on Sora 24/7 and so far, have loved it. The is one thing I don’t like about Sora is the holds. Holds for popular books can get up to a week for two. It takes a while to get the actual book you want if it’s a popular book. Take the Percy Jackson series for example, the book is very popular on Sora so it takes a while to get the book. I also don’t like how there are a limit to the number of holds you can have at once, it gets annoying when you are about to get another book after finishing one, but you are waiting for all of the popular books to be available. I also don’t like how there is also the amount of books you can have borrowed, it is basically the same as the holds. So overall, I do recommend Sora if you like reading, but there are a couple of minor inconveniences. Hope this helped you!

I am a student who loves the endless catalog of books on Sora but most of my favorite series have a long wait time. So I think what would make Sora better is that three copies of a book are the same price as one for the popular series so that all the books have a more even wait time instead of diary of a wimpy kid having a 2 month wait when a less popular book has only a 2 week wait.
