Audiobook 'Borrow' button modal omits Download option

[cerinawithasea]

I think they just pulled the odms everything was fine and all the sudden it only says listen now in browser. I have tried everything to get a download option on several diff laptops (win mac even an mi chip) no luck Is it just me? (please let it just be me)

Well crap.... I'm seeing the same thing. I guess it was only a matter of time.

Edit: This may have been a hiccup. Using Safari with a spoofed Windows user agent revealed the space where the ODM link should have been, but there was only open space, no text, no link. I tried in Firefox with a spoofed user agent and in Firefox on Windows. All three showed the same thing: blank space where the link should be.

I came here to this repo to see if anyone else was having the same problem, and when I saw this comment, I posted the single sentence you see below. Literal seconds later, I took one more look at my download page to see if there was anything else I could try, and, lo and behold, when reloaded the page, there was the link!

I'm really hoping this was just a bug that they corrected, and they will continue offering MP3s.

Original Comment: I came here to see if anyone else was seeing this. I am dismayed to find that others are.

About a week ago they removed the download button from the direct book -> Borrow -> select # days -> Success! flow, but you just need to bounce over to your Loans, refresh if needed, and the "Have OverDrive for Mac/Windows?" > "Download MP3 audiobook" button still shows up there, same as before.

Or that's my experience at least... other libraries might be different?

Try using firefox. May just be your browser user-agent has been added to the list. I'm still able to download the odm and pull mp3s

Changing your user agent to mobile has always worked for me.
