OK, I got on Maryland's upgraded site. Here is feedback for Overdrive.
WISHLIST VIEW
* The way to see what books were available was not at all intuitive, but once I figure it out, it's pretty useful.
* The filtering is VERY NICE. I really like it! Filtering by availability would be nice, too. Perhaps a radio button?
* loading wish list is much faster. It is a DREAM compared to what it was before. I like this.
* it doesn't bother me as much that the book details aren't visible in this view because once a book gets to my wishlist I already know what it's about.
BROWSING
* Browsing is improved by the sorting and filtering features that work
* An option for list view with more info about the book (as in the old browsing view) would be awesome. That way I won't click through to titles that I'm not interested in as often. But I do find things to like in the new view as well.
BOOK DETAIL VIEW
* The series title is no longer clickable. This was an awesome feature that allows you to look at all the series titles together, see what the library has. It would be nice to restore this functionality.
* as others have said, there's too little "about the plot" next to the cover graphic -- I'd like to see more of the blurb if possible rather than having to click down to it after about 2 lines.
Overall I think I like what I see except for having to click through to get the blurb for the book. My impression is that the speed of loading things has really improved.
