No, not cumbersome at all. You just go to Settings -> Overdrive and log in to your library (just search by zip code and choose the one you use). Then you go to the Kobo Store, and click your library name (in my case, Meridian Library District, the other two headings are Overview and Wishlist). That's it for browsing featured books. If you want to Search, just do a normal bookstore search but choose the Overdrive drop-down filter. At that point you'll see "Read Now" (if the book is borrowed), Borrow or Place a Hold (if it's not currently available). There's also a three dot, drop down menu for each book that has several other choice choices, like return, preview, view details, buy, etc.
The other cool thing about it is that, once you borrow a book on the Aura 2, it shows up on all your Kobos (except for my Mini?) when you sync. Even shows up on the Android app. So it's kind of a nice setup.
I guess one issue with it is that the library's Overdrive edition of the book has to match the Kobo Store's edition or it won't show up. I don't know yet how big of a problem that is going to be.
