We just got the redesigned Overdrive website at my local library last week. At the moment I'm not a fan as I have to look up fiction and non-fiction books separately to what’s been added. But that is just me being overly lazy.

The other library from the next town over has 3M and I must say Overdrive is much more user friendly.

@#&$@)#(*$&!!! I did it again - accidentally downloaded an open epub book that can't be returned early. I've been trying really hard to remember to look at the format before selecting a book, but I was tired and forgot to check.

I wish Overdrive would implement some kind of warning in big red print or something for items that can't be returned early.

Maybe...

Try this...

Import that ePub into ADE and then try to return it early.

I use the Sony Reader for PC software. I haven't ever tried to use ADE. Would that be easy to do? I'll probably just end up waiting for the book to expire and try to pay more attention next time.

I guess I mostly just wanted to get this into this discussion in case Mike from Overdrive ever comes back.

The Sony software has ADE embedded in it. There's generally no advantage to loading both, but if you do, they will share the same key (which is important if you strip DRM). The only cases I've found to have both installed are:
  • Sites that don't allow you to download the ACSM directly and use the ADE browser plugin (seem to be less common these days).
  • OpenLibrary.org does not seem to work with the Sony software. The ACSM loads in the Sony software, but the book will not download. I had to load ADE 2.0 to use it. I reported the issue and they were as baffled as I was.

Wont work. Open Epub is DRM free. You can't return them early once they are downloaded.
