I'm just sick of them tinkering with it in real time. They should have left the original release up--although it had its problems, it is worse now--and fixed everything, TESTED it thoroughly, then do another release.

The big Kindle button proved to me that Overdrive is in bed with Amazon.

Yes, the big Kindle button did go away, but Kindle is at the top of the list. Would have been better to be alphabetic instead. That way, Overdrive would not (still) be showing favoritism.

(Personally I liked it better with the kindle button, this drop box is really annoying.) |

They should have implemented a selection ool like the one on ereaderiq.com: let me include or exclude what I am interested in or not. Poblem solved. |

One of the libraries I belong to buys a lot of Russian books, but they do it sporadically. I always start with Advanced Search to limit the search to last 7 days and in ePub format. When I get the results, if I see on the left-hand side that the "English" subgroup count doesn't match the total results, I click on it to filter out the languages I can't read.
(Okay, so I took Russian when I was in college - that was more than 20 years ago and I basically remember the curse words now!) |

I'm tired of signing in twice, one to sign in, then again to check out, and when I switch Libraries (I have 3) it logs me out again saying I logged out! |

Can't log in to FLP any more. Instead of telling me the system is down, it's telling me that the library card does not exist! If at least their error messages made any sense!!

Certainly with all the other Overdrive problems I can believe it's the library's fault now, though. |

I wonder what the statistics are for books borrowed from Overdrive - kindle vs. epub - I wouldn't know where to look for that info, though.
