offer require an update that removes so much of the key functionality? That just seems stupid. It might look better, that is hard to say since they don't have complete preview screenshots only snippets, but if they are removing core functions that is a step backward regardless of how nice it may look.

What's more is that some of the features they are highlighting are really just old features in new skins with no apparent new value:

This redesign includes new availability statuses to show you at a glance whether a title can be placed on hold or borrowed right away:

Um, I can already see if the title is available or not at a glance.

Under My account, you'll find a new Checkouts page (instead of your old Bookshelf), where you can access all of the titles you currently have checked out.

Ok, so they renamed "bookshelf" to "checkouts". Woo hoo.
There is a "share feedback" button at the bottom of
this page that appears to be general Overdrive, not a specific library. Of course the way you share feedback is through a short survey but there are a couple text boxes to add feedback (what would you change? and what do you like?) on the 5th page.
