Is the Civic Hatchback the "New" honda Fit?

My wife and I have a 2019 Fit and we love that dang car. Our other car has finally kicked the bucket, and I was looking for newer cars that are "Fit like" in terms of storage, gas mileage, and reliability.

I noticed Civic Hatchback Hybrids and was wondering if people had hands on experience with both it and the Fit. In terms of the overall 'feel' of the car, are they similar enough, or should I go for something else?

And yes, I could look at getting a used Fit, but I'd like something a littler more 'modern' if you know what I mean. I really wish they kept selling it in the US.

Trunk/Body mounted Spare Tire options?

I know this has been talked about a lot, but I was browsing for some alternatives to carrying a spare tire in the Hybrid and came across these trunk/body mounted carriers. Does anyone know of a similar product that could work on the CRV, or have experience with them?

I was thinking it would be a nice solution over a hitch mount since it’d leave the hitch available without needing to remove the spare every time.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I’m trying to understand what the actual rules are around downloading audiobooks from Libby/OverDrive.

The reason I’m asking is because I made a Tampermonkey script that does exactly this. It started as a personal project, but I kept adding to it and now I’m wondering if it’s something I could share or not.
It just runs in the background while the player loads, then builds a zip and downloads when it’s done. I figure it's just automating what’s already happening in the browser. There's some extra QOL features ive been adding over time as well, but i wont get into specifics now. (Here's a video https://streamable.com/dhofka )

From what I can tell, Libby used to support direct downloads on desktop, but that got discontinued: https://help.overdrive.com/en-us/2324.htm
Downloading is still allowed through the mobile app, so I’m a bit confused on where the line actually is. I’m not super familiar with how all of this works so I figured I’d ask.

There are legit reasons people might want to download audiobooks, such as accessibility, offline use, backups, etc. but I’m not really trying to argue that. I’m wondering if sharing something like this is generally okay? Aare tools like this already out there? if I did share it, would it just get patched immediately?

I don’t want to release it somewhere and cause issues or get it shut down right away, so I figured I’d ask the community before doing anything dumb.

Sorry if this is kinda rambly, but I'd appreciate any input.
