I picked Short Fiction because it's a well known genre. You're right, Poetry is important and has been added to the list.

Now, when you refer to essays, novellas, plays, it seems to me like a different approach of categorizing e-books. One is to categorize genres according to content; the other is to categorize according to type or style of writing. The difficulty here is that we're trying to mix these two which doesn't seem to work very well.
yes i see what you mean. i think the list seems pretty good now. obviously a novella can be placed in "fiction" for example. but perhaps we could have *tags* for novella, play, etc. ; the best of all worlds, in a sense. but since we began categorizing by content, we should continue like that, otherwise we will never get anywhere !
