Last night, I set up my four library sites in an alternative browser in desktop view: in my genre, my libraries have a third of the audiobooks in MP3s and two thirds in WAV.
My request is that Overdrive lets me see all content regardless of the view I have and the device used for browsing. Seriously, there is no reason I shouldn't be able to borrow or even see WAV books when on an iPad. NONE. Also, all four libraries I have access to defaulted back to "Relevance" sorting while I was browsing a genre. What does that even mean?!?! Either a book is in that genre or not. Doesn't get any more relevant than that. None of the four libraies could be enticed to sort by any other criteria that they offer from the drop-down box - I was stuck with the nonsense Relevance sorting. |

Great article, Julie! Thank you for taking the time for this, and let's hope Overdrive will address these issues.

OverDrive needs to test these things before releasing them. OMG. If I have to log in again EVERY TIME I go to check out a book any more, I'm going to run amok.

I feel the same way! If they would just fix this one thing. I'd be a little less to complain about the other issues. This is the major one.

Also, Fairfax refuses to "remember me", though the box is always checked, and I have to newly log in every time now.

Oh, I don't think "remember me" has ever worked for me (Brooklyn Public).
My annoyance: if you are not logged in and you click on "Borrow," you get redirected to the sign in page. But if you are not logged in and you click on "Add to wish list," you get a layer that says "sign in to add this to your wish list" and you have to go there yourself. Why not use the redirect? Even better, why not put the sign in screen in a layer so I don't have to "go" anywhere? eP |

Also, I think it's safe to say that most people always want to borrow the book in the same format (epub, kindle, pdf). Most likely the only time they would want a different format is when their preferred format is not available. So why not make that a *user* preference? I could set "I want epubs" in My Account and then I would only see the checkboxes when epub is not available. OR, right by the Download button, it would say "you are downloading: epub. Change" And that would allow me to change to a different format.

Agree; and if it's not resolved soon, I'm gonna quit using OverDrive until it is. They're not the only source for free books.
