"Get it" Button and OverDrive
When a checked out OverDrive item is viewed in Vega's "My Bookshelf," the user is given the option to "check in" the item using a button to the left of the listing. Clicking a caret to the right of the button makes an additional button, "get item," appear which, when clicked, allows the user to choose how they would like to view the item (read in Kindle, read in browser, download ePub or PDF, etc). Although most OverDrive users will likely be accessing their items from Libby/Kindle directly, it would be nice if the "get item" button in Vega was visible as the caret can be easily missed.

"Get Item" as the default button would make so much more sense. (With maybe a different label like "go to item" or "open"?) From a user perspective, I have never returned an eBook early from within Discover, but I have had the thought that it would be nice/logical for My Bookshelf to be the go-to place to not only easily see my digital borrows across multiple platforms, but also easily *access* them. It currently is not, unless you are one of the few who notices the caret.
