I DESPISE THE NEW OVERDRIVE. There. Whew. I have complained via their "feedback" three separate times. I suppose they don't care. What they have done is accommodate smartphone users, as most web sites are doing now. I use a desktop. This has to be the unfriendliest version of Overdrive for desktop that I've ever used and I've been using it since it started.

In the past, I would check new added to the site books/audiobooks every week. Easy peasy. A pleasure to use. Now, everything is a bloody effort. No way to tell what my limit is at a glance; no way to tell how many items checked out. And that's the LEAST of my dislike.

I truly hate developers who think, between eating their Cheetos and playing Foosball in the rec room (yes, I've worked in such tech places), that everything MUST be revamped just...because. Not everyone has a smartphone!

My lifeline is Overdrive. I don't have cable. I watch very little over the air TV. I read. I listen to audiobooks. I can't afford to do anything else (other than the Internet.) Overdrive has now screwed up one of my last real pleasures.

The other revamp was EASY to get used to. EASY to manipulate and use. EASY to look at.

This one? NOT AT ALL.

Gee, thanks, Overdrive, real friendly revamp ya got there.
