I noticed that with the new choices for download type (Kindle being more in-your-face now), that you now longer can see if you have downloaded the book of not. I have books that auto-checkout from the library when they become available, then I have to go to the library "Loan" page and download it. Which is fine. But if you succumb to their push for making Kindle the default format, then you can't tell the difference between a downloaded book and one that is waiting to be downloaded. But if you tell them NOT to make Kindle your default format, then a second download button is present (for ePub) if you haven't downloaded. Once you've downloaded, then that ePub choice button goes away.

So the moral of this story is, don't set Kindle format as your default, even if that's the format you prefer. Otherwise you can't quickly tell what has been downloaded and what has not been. Of course you could figure it out - by looking at your email that tells you specifically what was auto-checked-out. So it's not the end of the world. But it's an inconvenience IMHO.
