Oooh...maybe the 'hiccup' was also responsible for my 'Mystery of the Missing Email'. Here's hoping.

Bad news, folks. Things have gone from bad to worse on Overdrives hold system. I had holds on two pre-release titles that were released today - one at a library with the new format and one at a library with the old reliable format. I should have received email last night saying the ebooks were available for checkout. This morning, no emails. When I check my accounts, I am number 1 of ##, but the ebook is not available for checkout. I know I was first in line and the ebook should be available to me. I have sent off an inquiry to Overdrive support and my libraries paper website to find out what is going on.

Check to see if the release date has been moved back. Probably not the case, but it's happened to me on a couple of occasions. There does seem to be something wonky with OverDrive's notification system recently, though.

Brooklyn Public Library now has this disclaimer on their digital media site:
If you received a holds email but the title was not available for checkout, please disregard. You will receive another notification when your hold is available. We apologize for the inconvenience. |

I got another notice about the same book, tonight, and this time when I went to Holds it was actually available.

Oh my. My last remaining library has taken down the 'Next Gen Coming Soon' banner.
Dare I hope? |

If I had done that I would have been fired! Times have changed. Don't proof anything before you release it or ship it.
I just was sent something from XXX that was not complete, three things missing, in the box. They did not apologize, I asked for faster shipping since it was their fault. Guess what? I will get it in 8 days. I will not do business with them again. Times have changed. |
