Hi Paul, are you saying that when double tapping on the "Borrow" button within the app this does not initiate the download? I've been racking what remains of my grey matter wondering why when I select "Borrow" no books are added to my ipod. I did assume that the book would be downloaded directly to my ipod despite the fact that I do see the book selected on the ipod in the list of 6 books on the RNIB overdrive site. thoroughly confused here!

The first thing I noticed on my fourth gen iPod Touch running IOS 6.1 is that the Overdrive app (which is not made by RNIB) is not fully VoiceOver compliant. On most of its screens, you have to explore by touch in order to access all of the available controls. You can't always swipe from one control to another. That's confusing and it means that you can't use a bluetooth keyboard for all navigation. Unlike the Audible app, where books to be downloaded are listed along with downloaded books in the main screen of the app itself, you have to navigate to the download section on the library Web page after 'checking out' the desired title after selecting the borrow button. This is not obvious and, given the fact that the RNIB library is Web based as opposed to being presented in a cut-down form within the Overdrive app, it can take some time to find the title you want to download. It just feels like there are too many steps and that the steps are not presented in a logical step-by-step way, at least compared to the Audible experience. Anyway, having audio books available for download like this from the RNIB is just great and I have already started on my first downloaded book.
