How to get an ebook via OD on your Kobo

1) Search for the book, limiting the result to Overdrive (there's a dropdown menu on the left side, I believe it starts as 'Kobo'.

2) Find the book and tap on it.

3) Click the ellipsis (...) and select borrow (if it's available) or place on hold (if it's not)

If it's available it'll download right away. If it's not it'll give you a notification that it was placed on hold.

Tried this with two borrowable books, the first time I was asked to login to OD even though I had set the account up with my Aura One yesterday. But hey that's computers for you, sometimes they like us logging in a second time. I then purposefully waited a few minutes with wifi disabled before trying a second book. This time I was not prompted to login.

I tried this with an ebook I already have on hold, and was able to put it on hold, not sure what that's going to do with the availability but I can always just return one right away.

The only issue I found was there is no way to return borrowed books from the Kobo itself.
