The 'if it isn't broke' principle would suggest they not change it now, and it sounds like doing so would invite a legal challenge.

That said, it annoys me that you can't go to your Overdrive bookshelf and return early there, and that Overdrive's iOS app doesn't let you do it either (even though they license RMSDK). So, the world is not perfect...
