 (Tested on Get IA Books version 3 in Trisquel 3.0 with Sugar 86.2)

 The down-arrow icon looks like the drop-down icon for search history in
 other systems, so I clicked it and found I was downloading a book instead.

 I suggest that the download icon be moved to the right side of the format
 selector with a clear gap between the selector and the download button (so
 it is not confused with the format selector down-arrow).

 A rapidly appearing hover palette with a "Download" description, or using
 another, more explicit icon, including perhaps the elements of the
 Activity icon are some other alternatives to avoid the potential
 confusion.
