Description
## Web-view
Aldiko reader uses the web-view approach where clicking borrow link sends the user offsite to login to a partner service + to fulfill the book.
Here's an example @hadriengardeur put together for the "web-view" link case:
http://feedbooks.github.io/opds-test-catalog/demo/openlibrary.atom
`http://opds-spec.org/acquisition/borrow` is used to specify a acquisition/borrow link (which sends the user to openlibrary [or alternativelyIA] to login + fulfill)
``````
## Basic Auth
Alternatively, SimplyE has the user enter their credentials when they first select a source library. These credentials are stored in app and then passed along with borrow requests to a different acquisition link (?)
