Your Parents Are Closer Than They Think: Getting an Audiobook Playing in the Car

My mom wanted to listen to an audiobook on a road trip and asked for help. When we got to the driveway, her phone was already paired to the car, Libby was already on her phone, and she'd already borrowed the book. What was missing was one button on the car and knowing the ebook and audiobook are two different loans.

This week: how Bluetooth pairing works (think party introductions), why a connected car can still be silent, the volume and wrong-phone traps, using Libby in the car with CarPlay or Android Auto, why library ebooks have wait lists, how Libby compares to Audible, and how to coach your parent through the last 10% so they don't have to call you next time.

Your task this week: pick one thing on your parent's tech wish list, find the step they're actually stuck on, and help them finish it themselves.
