I use the shortlist to keep a few current books that I'm reading, the next two in the series for example but also quite importantly, to me, other content related to the book I'm reading, particularly maps. When they're saved as separate image files they can be zoomed and panned, which can't be done to the ones withing the epub. I've extracted maps from epubs or where available downloaded them from author sites and put them at the front of the shortlist. So when I'm reading the book and need to refer to a map it's just a quick trip to the home page and then select from the short list to view it.

I gather that's not the way the new home page works. Is there a way with the new system to access stuff like maps or other quick reference content with just one or two taps? If not, is there a chance it could be looked at in whatever fine tuning is planned for version 2.0? I wouldn't really mind what it's called shortlist/shelves/whatever as long as it retains the same quick access functionality.
No shortlist from the home screen, but it still shows your five most recently added or accessed books, so if you open the map file and then go back to the home screen, it'll be one of the five items displayed.
