Micah,

I have some library-related questions and suggestions:

I was going to ask for a 'Return' feature, but I poked around and discovered it is already there! (by the way Overdrive Media Console that just came out seems to lack this feature, which seems Wrong..)

The library portal on overdrive.com now lets you download ebooks to iOS, but Overdrive Media Center gobbles up the ACSM file without letting me choose BF to open it instead. Is there something BF can do about that? I still need OMC for audiobook lending, so uninstalling it is not an option for me.

As it is, I have been downloading the ascm file to my computer and then emailing it to my iPod, where I can choose to have BF open it. But I'd prefer to do it all on my iPod.

It would be nice if BF displayed some information about where the borrowed item originates. OMC does this.

Finally it would be nice if I could add a web link to my library portal on the Get Books page, so that I can use that to go there directly from BF.

Thanks for a great app!
