Ummm.. OK, seriously, I can only filter my Wish List 80 books at a time. WHAT USE IS THAT? I have 280 books. I need to filter the whole thing.

When I was researching the next book in the "In Death"series I noticed a series link was listed in the right hand column, but when I clicked the series link, it didn't look as though they were ordered or even had easy to read numbers associated with the titles.
I need to do more investigating, but got distracted by a lot of loud young adults coming into the house. LOL |

I have access to a total of 5 Overdrive libraries. The largest and my favorite has switched to this design (Cleveland's). The other 4 still have the old design.
As I grow accustomed to the redesign (and being accustomed is NOT the same as saying I'm growing to like it, let alone love it), I can say IMO: New design pluses:
New design negative - corrected:
New design WTFs?!
Old design pluses:

The Brooklyn Library requires clicking 'Borrow' twice before being able to download. |

Ok, maybe I am missing this. In the wishlist on BPL, I have to click on each book to see if its available now right? Or is there some way to see what the waitlist is without that. And what exactly does the filter do? I type in a letter and I guess it gives me the book titles and authors that start with that letter?
Am I missing something there too? I do like that moving stuff from and to the wishlist is just one click on that bookmark. Filters are nice also. My local library has not switched yet. I prefer the selection of BPL anyway. |

On a PC, if you hover your mouse over the book or headphone icons (upper right hand corner of book cover) it will tell you availability status. You do need to click the book cover to see number of patrons on wait list.

Do you know if there is some way to exclude the romance/erotica/drivel that is so prevalent in new additions to libraries since the popularity of Fifty Shades... I don't want to have to wade thru that stuff to find something I want to read. |

I find that doing an advanced search and selecting "literature" as the category rules out some of the real junk.

They should list all these things somewhere. I feel like I am hunting for easter eggs. |

There's a WhisperSync equivalent it sounds like in the vid.
I'm re-reading the "In Death" series since it's been a long while since I've read the paperbacks, and am a bit disappointed #3 is not in Kindle format. Yeah, I can get the epub but still... |

So far, only one book that I've checked out has the 'Read (In Your Browser)' feature. The thing about Brooklyn is they allow a whopping 15-limit checkout and I'm always well below that (can only read so many books in a week), so there may be many more books with that feature that I'm unaware of. (I'm one of those who don't really mind reading a book on the PC, so I'd definitely take advantage of it).
