    The most accurate way to locate the books for which you have only a temporary license is to open your library and click License → Temporary from the list of available filters on the left. You can also check out the Included books section here to see the current list of all subscription books, which will include titles that you own (and hence will not be displayed in your library as having a temporary license).

    The books included in the subscription can change from time to time, though the selection is very deliberate.

    I wonder if wanting to see 'what's new', at least on the Mac, check the resource 'Date Modified'. I don't have any temporaries, but my permanents reflect the download date (and therefore sort = latest downloaded).
