Web links is an interesting suggestion, I'd not thought of that. We do plan to offer a way to manually "add" OPDS feeds as mentioned, but links are another thing. I'll ponder that.

I don't know how it works under the hood, but OMC's 'Get Books' page has an 'Add a Website' button. Clicking on this launches Safari on an overdrive search page (
http://search.overdrive.com/newwebsitefinder?country=US' in my case). But simply navigating to a library portal does not seem to add it to the list (and I wouldn't expect it to). Maybe you have to actually login (in which case how would OMC know?), or more likely it doesn't get added until you actually download an item to OMC. I can't seem to edit or delete the one entry I have there (not that I want to), so the underlying paradigm is not clear.
Anyway, thanks again.
I think I saw something on this thread about an alternate iOS web browser that lets you direct downloads to the app of your choice (including Dropbox etc.) so I'll check that out. Sounds like that would workaround having to use a computer to get library books into BF.
