I don't find the redesign altogether bad. I mostly just visit my wish list, and it is much easier to see what is available for checkout there now. And I do my browsing on Amazon for the most part. A Chrome extension notifies me when something is available at one of my libraries, and it is just a couple of clicks to checkout, add to wish list, or hold.

After requesting a title be made available at one of my local libraries, I received an email from them informing me the book was available as an audiobook with their 'OneClickDigital' service and included instructions for downloading the software and setting up an account. I'd never even heard of it but decided to give it a try.

Although not without its flaws, OneClickDigital does have some amazing features that I'd love to see adopted by OverDrive...

1) History tab. Shows all books previously checked out w/date of check-out.

2) Choice of check-out time (1 to 14 days).

3) Early return. I haven't actually used this feature yet, but nice to know it's there for audiobooks.

The service is for audiobooks only and getting around the website is painfully slow (more so when logged in for some reason), but I've found some titles not available at my main digital library, so pretty happy about that.

Anyone else use it? Of my 3 local libraries (one county and two city), only one offers it as an alternative to OverDrive.
One of my libraries has "Oneclickdigital" . They have audiobooks that my overdrive doesn't have. And they were wonderfully helpful when I called them for assistance. They guided me in transferring an audiobook to my clip zip. I am glad that there is an alternative to Overdrive.

Go to Chrome webstore and search for 'Overdrive.' It is called 'Library Extension from libraryextension.com'. Or search for the latter. If you borrow physical books it will look for those also.

At this point, I would be willing to pay for a reasonably priced subscription library that had a good selection and an easy-to-use website.

They also give us a choice of manually downloading (which I prefer) or using their MediaManager (similar to the OverDrive Console). All in all, some very thoughtful options went into the design of the service.

I tried a couple of titles. One advantage they have over OverDrive is the ability to play DRM WMA audiobooks on Android (and I suspect iPhone). These get converted to EMP3 (encrypted MP3) files and play in their player.

I love the renew feature.

Gosh, I didn't know that you could do this with Oneclickdigital . Now I will have to look into this. Thank you so much..... I think.

Oh, I just installed it. It found one of the 8 books or so I tested; the other 7 it sometimes found a different book with one of the same words in the title...kind of disappointing, that...

I installed it but my library isn't supported. I wonder if it works with a certain type of library software.
