Do you read Library eBooks using the Overdrive app? You can now "return" your ebooks early, before they expire. This is good news if you've hit your limit of 10 titles, and also good news for your fellow ebook readers. Returning an ebook instantly frees it up for the next user (sorry, this does not currently apply to any eAudiobooks).
Readers who use eReaders like the Nook or Sony eReader - which don't work with the OverDrive app - have always been able to return EPUBS early using Adobe Digital Editions.
How to get the Return-Early Feature:
Download the latest version of the Overdrive Media Console (v2.3). You should be prompted to update from your device, but you can also visit your device's App store to download the latest version.
And with the latest version of the app, you can return and delete a book in just one step:

OverDrive eBook App Adds Return-Early Feature

And with the latest version of the app, you can return and delete a book in just one step:
- Select the title and choose the Delete option.
- Choose "Return and Delete" to remove the title from your OverDrive eAccount (from the iPhone/iPod/iPad: Tap Edit, then Delete)
- Don't chose "Delete without Returning" unless a title has already expired - this will remove a file from your device, but it will still be checked out to you for up to 21 days.
