You can't do it thru the website but telephone requests are easy enough to do.

I downloaded Kavalier and Klay but was unable to play on my Mac. Use in good health, Windows users. Another fun trick (Windows only now though…grr): downloadable audiobooks!

But it's an option, hopefully, they'll get more movies in the future. I have a Library right across the street from where I live, the movies

Until something like that works out, I'm going to stick with maintaining my "queue" offline (although I do let myself add more if there's going to be a long wait for the next one).
