Show books already downloaded

It would be really useful if there were a way of indicating an audiobook had already been downloaded.

For example, Libby displays an icon for an audiobook that has already been downloaded on the app, which is EXTREMELY useful if one borrows masses of audiobooks!

Love this 👍🏻

I love this app , my choice is the Audio Books, so much choice & although you do have to wait a while for popular books once you get them it’s a decent amount of time 🕰️ you get for them , I’m hoping as this app grows we get more n more books on here as some I’ve looked for aren’t available but I have hope that they will be on here in the future , very happy with my experience so far ,fingers crossed we can sending in requests for books that aren’t on here to be put on here 🙂
