Idiotically, overdrive's web interface dies not allow you to return books.

I've always thought Overdrive should allow returns from the web interface as well. A couple of times, I've had returns fail from ADE and then was stuck with the book until it expired. It wouldn't re-download so I could attempt to return again, and though absent from ADE, it was clearly present in my checkouts! A web return option would be handy.

I'm figuring that Amazon will not be able to do early returns, since it's not through ADE and that will just make wait lists worse.
