Well the first thing would be to define a list of terms for genre. For example the Bible point is mute if you have a genre called religion.
I tend to prefer more break downs of genre. Everything is either fiction or non-fiction so if there is a choice of horror or fiction then horror gets the nod as it is more specific. You only use the most generic terms when you don't have a choice. In some cases a book defies categorization and needs to be in more than one category I suppose.
I am surprised that most of the eBook readers don't already do category. I use this feature a lot in my eBookwise 1150.
