Good idea. Maybe I am doing something wrong, but results with that interface do not seem to include OverDrive Kindle format titles. Perhaps the programmers are working on that.

Thanks. It isn't ideal, but it's better than before. You did help me to find, at search.overdrive.com, a couple books I'd like to read. One is only available in Abilene Texas, which won't work for me . But another is in the library at the next municipality over, where I have paper borrowing privileges because of being in the same state. I'll have to see if they'll give me a native library card after explaining why.
