If you tether Nook, and transfer a book to ADE, then transfer to BFR (e.g. via itunes or Drop Box), then open it in BFR. Hopefully you'll get prompted for user name and pass. Try: user: <first> space <last> pass: CC# you used to purchase. If anyone tries this please post whether it works.

Also, I would greatly appreciate a highlighting UI that uses as few taps as possible after selecting the text to be highlighted. Right now I've got one tap&hold to start selection, then I have to wait for the bookmark/note dialog to come up, then tap save before I can move on. This can be time consuming for the highlighter obsessed, such as myself. Nook, iBooks, and Goodreader all have acceptable approaches to highlighting. Not so much with Kindle and Stanza (again, they make you go through at least one extra tap to "save" your highlight). Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions! |

I'm happy to say I've finally found a reader that I like for the iphone. On a 3G at least it's quite a bit faster than any of the other options that I've tried. Great job, Micah (and co.).
If I had one request it would be to be able to sort by series and see the series number in the Library. I often bring a whole series over to my reader at once and often forget which book is 'next'. |

I've tried several ways to load OverDrive eBooks from eNYPL and BECPL, including emailing myself the link to the .acsm files, and no joy.
If you can get this working, along with some improvements in UI, you'll have a winner. My note would be to offer a landscape two page option. iBooks and Kindle have it, but they don't have Adobe's DRM. |

BFR is definitely a good start. I transfered about 90 books over and it went smooth. I definitely prefer BFR to Txtr for the ease of loading my books. A few things I would like to see in future upgrades are:
* An option for editing the book info on the iPod. Right now, if I sort by author, some books sort by first name and some by last name. It would be nice to be able to fix that within the app. * A way to see which books have been read and which are in progress. That lack is one of my big pet peeves with the Kindle app. I sometimes forget what I have read. * Other sort options are always good, such as by tags or series or genre. Overall it is a nice reading app with a lot of potential. I'm looking forward to seeing what you are able to do to improve it, Micah. |

And while on the topic, one of the things that I think is cool about Bluefire Reader, is that you can use that same "view" to jump directly into the TOC or Bookmarks list of any given book right from the library. |

I agree. The first app that works easily with OverDrive library books will sell very well.

Overdrive
That's what I've been saying. The other features are nice but it's the ability to use the iPad for public library reading which is revolutionary and the game changer. It turns the iPad into the ultimate ereader and I guarantee turns this app into a major seller even with a price tag attached to it.
