thanks in advance!

Not entirely sure what went wrong where, but Overdrive refused to give you a valid license when requested in the acquire_license step. I can't do any better than that error message:

The requested license is either invalid or already acquired

Can you try turning it off and back on again? 😜 - I.e., rm HackingGrowthHowTodaysFastestGrowingCompaniesD* and then go re-download a fresh ODM file from your library's website and re-run the overdrive download ... command 🤞

(And in case you were wondering, each time you download the ODM file it is slightly different — precisely at the point where your process failed — the AcquisitionUrl value)

Thanks for the helpful response! That solved it!
