Overdrive sends you to Amazon, which I would suppose is the step most people could not complete, who said it doesn't work.

It does work, but you have to disable JavaScript (in the WebKit browser) for that step to complete correctly.

Otherwise, the WebKit browser will choke, and produce an error dialog that states something about 'multiple windows' that it cannot open.

Disabling JavaScript for that one step is helpful, there.
This didn't work for me. I just went through the whole process on my K3 wifi/3g, including disabling JavaScript just before clicking on the link that sends to Amazon. The K3 opened a window that said, "Web Browser could not open this link because opening multiple windows is not supported."
