Tried for 1st time today given how most other libby DL tools have all broken recently. This appears to be affected the same way.
Any download fails with the "Loading state: failed" error.
Tried the "Reset everything" option as well with no change.
I expect it's not anything specific to this extension, and rather, libby has changed their authentication mechanism.
Hopefully this will be fixed soon we we can all update the reviews.
