The image shows a screenshot of a social media post by a user named "crookedbluebirdkingdom." The post is presented in a black background with white text. The post is divided into two sections, each with a timestamp of "2d" (2 days ago).

The first section of the post discusses the disappearance of books from Libby, a digital library service. The user mentions that books that were previously accessible in multiple libraries have started disappearing. The user attributes this to Amazon gaining exclusive rights to these books, making them available only through Amazon. The post also highlights Audible's exclusive audiobooks and the sudden disappearance of entire series and collections.

The second section of the post references an article from The Verge, stating that this issue has been ongoing since at least 2021. The user speculates that Amazon has intensified its actions in response to boycotts, particularly targeting books available only digitally. The post concludes by urging support for local libraries, authors, and used bookstores.

The user's profile picture is a cartoonish image of a man with a mustache and sunglasses. The post includes a "Follow" button and three dots, indicating options for more actions.
