I bought a Kobo Aura One expressly because it supported Overdrive. However, the Overdrive support on the device is self-defeating. Right now you have to browse the Kobo store, and load the details page for a given book to see if it's available through Overdrive. There is no indication of which books are available through overdrive other than the buy/borrow button.

In other words, it's not possible to browse Overdrive titles or even search for books within Overdrive. Annoyingly, the only workaround is to use the web browsers to find books, then go back and search for that book in the Kobo store. This is really annoying. What are the chances of getting an "only show Overdrive books" filter in the Kobo store search?
