Of course and those suggestions are very useful so far.
About the images: while creating the mobile version, I hesitated between full text or text+images.
While full text is the best choice for a lighter version, text+images looked way better. Most smartphones are getting better and brighter screens, and I really liked it a lot better with a few images (like m.youtube.com for example). Now if I can find a way to keep these images with a similar quality, yet a smaller size, of course, I'll make these changes.
Concerning the text: for full sentences, I agree, and I'll check every page again, and see if I can make some of them shorter. But when you're browsing, most of the time, the text displayed is for the filters, and in this case, this text is very useful. I have to find a balance between features and the number of elements on the screen. I've removed some of the filters that we use on the main page, but kept those that are really useful. For example, on the page for an author, I consider that it is useful to change the order of the books and switch between title/year/popularity.
For some elements, I've moved them to a separate page: for example similar books and lists. Once I add a way to sign up on the mobile version, I'll also add support for reading and sending comments on a separate page for books/authors/lists.
