Love the concept, hate the execution – OverDrive: eBooks & audiobooks Review

I use the app but find it very frustrating to navigate and use. Once you have the book, it works fine. Getting to the screen to find and add books is awkward. To return a book once done is incredibly difficult. Unfortunately, that provides a disincentive to returning books early which, in turn, delays the whole rental queue. I suspect most books are "returned" when they expire, rather when the borrower has completed the book. I am also very frustrated by the process of suggesting a book. As near as I can tell, you cannot suggest a book unless Overdrive already is aware of its existence. If I am reading a series, I cannot suggest the next book, even if I know it exists (it is available for purchase from Audible.com, for example). Even if they have the electronic book, you cannot suggest the audible version. I use the app for both audible and Kindle books.
