BTW, for those of you that like reading library books, here is a hidden gem in Bluefire Reader. You can go into mobile safari on your iOS device and enter a certain kind of link (easier actually if you save that URL in some kind of web page or document where you can tap on it later rather than re-typing each time). it goes like this - in Mobile Safari (or in a URL) type: bluefirereader://nav/web/http://www.yourlocallibrarysite.org

example for Seattle Public Library: bluefirereader://nav/web/http://spl.org

When you do this Bluefire Reader should open and you should be able to browse the library site right there inside Bluefire Reader, and when you go to check out a book, it will download directly into the app and you can read it instantly. No side loading silliness necessary. If this works for you (should with any Overdrive powered library site) please post here. I'd love to know it works for people (we actually did this for ourselves as we read library books a lot) - but I figure some other folks might find it handy too... Happy Reading.
