I agree.

This is already available on the Cybook, which supports 5, 10 or 20 items in its library view. See the attached 10-item version (from Bookeen's standard images) and the 5-item version in the last photo of Cybook Gen3: I have seen the 1.00 firmware! (I promised some pictures...).

It would be a simple upgrade to the ContentLister to list 12 per page with smaller images, or ~20 per page with only one line descriptions.

The Cybook 2-column approach might be harder to do, because iRex made the mistake of not mapping a long keypress of the up-arrow and down-arrow keys to left-arrow and right-arrow - but that could either be changed globally or just for the ContentLister. That way, the iLiad's 3-key navigation pad emulates a conventional 5-key pad (as on the Cybook).
