I'll keep trying to borrow the one that came in, and if it doesn't resolve itself by this evening, I'll contact support. I guess they just have kinks to work out with the new features.

I have had the auto borrow work just fine. When you go to borrow an eBook, there is a check box for auto hold that is automatically checked and you have to uncheck it to turn off auto checkout. You can still go to the holds and turn off auto checkout. But because it's on by default, most people are not going to turn it off and when their turn comes, right to the bookshelf it goes and if they would have not picked it up in time for it to expire in a few days, we have to then wait the full borrow time (in most cases) for it. This is why having auto checkout on by default is wrong.
