Brooklyn offered me a preview this morning. Didn't click on it... figured I'd wait until they forced me to use it.
You should know what you are in for. It's not nice.

I just remembered the thread that was started on the new Overdrive. This isn't it and should be merged. Nothing to see here. Please go to https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=266837 and have a read.

Actually, it's the same new. It's just that a lot of libraries didn't adopt it back then. I do belong to one library that did adopt it and it is the same as what you see when you go to try out the new Overdrive.

My county library will be adopting the "new" version of Overdrive. I do think they're doing it because they are also dropping 3M library effective Nov 30, 2016. Supposedly all the stuff available on 3M will be available with the new Overdrive if they weren't already.

This is the thread we should be using to talk about the upcoming new version of Overdrive. The new crappy version of Overdrive.

That's interesting! Usually people (like me) have the issue that their library dropped Overdrive in favor of 3M. The new Overdrive look is somewhat similar to 3M's mobile device look so I think you will not mind it as much. It's not as big a change for you. In fact you will probably be happier about the experience overall!

My first thoughts as well upon seeing this thread. I still find myself kissing my teeth about these changes and now we're back again

All 3 of my library have the preview. It doesn't stick by the way as of yet. You can check it out and then go back to the old view. My local library decided to pick bright pink as the backround and banner color, bright fushia really. While the other uses blue. That pink burned my retinas. Can't blame that on Overdrive, someone picked that.

Take it back, only 2 of my libraries have the preview, the third does not show it.

I'll get used to it. Some additional functions I do like.

Also, when you look at the site in general on a phone, all of the icons look huge. Too much scrolling required.
I haven't tried looking at it on my Sony reader yet. I don't download directly from the library very often but do use it occasionally when I'm away from home. I'm expecting it to look horrible!
At least on my Windows PC I was able to shrink things somewhat.

One of my libraries already made the switch and the hold process is much improved. Fewer clicks and less backtracking to get where you were.
