When people talk about a "bookshelf" view I think they really mean a grid view with the cover fully visible (as used in something like iBooks). I find this works very well as long as the number of books is not too large, but it tends to become cumbersome as the number grows. As a result I find it tends to work quite well on the reading device, but not on the main library.
What might be nice to have is a variant of the list view with a column for thumbnails added. However although this might look nice and be usable from a user perspective I think it may have unacceptable performance implications unless a very sophisticated method is used to populate the thumbnail column.
