It opened up the saved file in Bluefire, and I enjoyed reading it there. Thanks for that, it was easier to do it all on the iPad, and not have to deal with my laptop, DropBox, etc.<br /><br />I put myself on the waiting list for a book &quot;The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook: a Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal&quot;from my local library (this is the book that &quot;The Social Network&quot; movie was based upon) and just today got an email that it was my turn to borrow it.<br /><br />I tapped the link in the email on my iPad and it took me to the library&#39;s website. It appears to have been redesigned to be much more iPad friendly, better layout, optimized for the tablet screen. Very nice! When I reached the page to download, I noticed the bookmarklet didn&#39;t work... however, tapping the page&#39;s own Download button launched the Overdrive app instead, which downloaded the title directly, and I was able to start reading. The Overdrive app seems perfectly fine, very responsive, and iPad native too. The workflow is certainly easier now, in my case the bookmarklet&#39;s not even necessary.<br /><br />Thanks very much, just wanted to share today&#39;s discovery!Joshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967648901802250573.post-72025612216465398142011-01-06T21:07:43.668-05:002011-01-06T21:07:43.668-05:00Hey, I am having issues getting this formula down,...Hey, I am having issues getting this formula down, can you help me please, I think all is going well and when I go to my library page and press the overdrive bookmark icon it leads me back to the page where you get the formula..

Their response was:<br /><br />&quot;The mobile site is now active for all mobile/portable devices exclusive to their device.

Suggestions have been made to Incorporate a &#39;View standard site&#39; link be added to the mobile sites. This has been passed on to our development team for further consideration.&quot;<br /><br />I&#39;ve been working on updating my bookmarklet to overcome this obstacle. I know that you can spoof the site by having your browser &quot;impersonate&quot; a desktop browser (by sending a different UserAgent string), but mobile Safari doesn&#39;t seem to allow this (by contrast, Atomic Browser, available for $0.99 in the app store, allows UA spoofing).<br /><br />I haven&#39;t been able to spoof the UA via javascript, but I&#39;ll keep trying (there are a couple of approaches I still want to try). Maybe I can figure out some way to automate the URL replacements outlined above, but without a full database of each library&#39;s codes, I&#39;m not sure how one could build a universal solution.<br /><br />I think Overdrive is doing all this as they are supposedly releasing their own iPhone app &quot;soon&quot;, and want to direct users towards it. maybe they will incorporate a &quot;view full site&quot; link (as, apparently, many have requested), but I&#39;m not holding my breath.<br /><br />PS: For Oregon users, the &quot;full site&quot; id to use in the URL is /10/397Greghttp://greg-williams.pip.verisignlabs.com/noreply@blogger.com
