Bookshelf Divider Tabs

I'm not sure which forum is the best place for this query... Anyway, I use iBooks on my iPad 3 (sorry, I refuse to call it "the new iPad"). I tend to have lots of books on my bookshelf. I've divided my books into several collections (fiction, non-fiction, technical, etc.). But my fiction shelf is very large (and I like it that way). But what I'd like to do is create a some kind of bookshelf divider to help me find books and sort them. What I envision is a "book" cover that is essentially all white with a large letter (A, B, C) that I can position on the bookshelf to help me quickly find my place in a long list of books. Obviously, the letter on the cover would need to be large (and a cool-ish font wouldn't hurt). The author and title of these placeholders would probably be something like A A or B B so that they would sort at the correct spot in the list view, whether viewing by author or title. I hope that this makes some kind of sense.

Anyway, I wasn't sure how to go about creating this type of placeholder or divider. I tried to create a mini-book in Sigil. That worked, but I couldn't figure out how to make the front page into a cover with a large letter.

Has anyone else tried something like this?
