What's new: for audio books, download an app with flash (Puffin works for Android and IOS) and you're now allowed to listen to them on a tablet or smartphone.
When you log in you see a list of what you have borrowed. You can download an ebook multiple times during you load period so no more duplicate borrowing because you erased you ebook by accident. That you can read directly in the browser is good for quick reads and really helpful for demonstrating e-books to newbies. Not having to scare away people with the long process of Adobe registration and app downloading is a bonus. From the library's perspective that we now have control over the catalog means that we can weed out one-page recipies, crappy erotica and stuff that can be found for free on other websites.
I do agree that I'd like to see WHAT type of file I'm loading down. Maybe Elib figures that with so many using smartphones and tablets most people don't care.
