I'm enjoying this update overall. I'm encountering a few issues with it, however, mainly with the shelves.

1. When creating a new shelf, after naming and pushing "next", it can take anywhere from a minute to 3 or more for it to actually make the shelf for me to populate.

2. When choosing to edit a shelf, same problem. It takes at *least* a minute, usually more, for the shelf to come up with the add option.

This leads me to some options I'd like to see added in a future update to make shelves more functional.

1. The ability to change the view of books in the "add books" section of shelves. The way the view is now, it quite frequently cuts off a good portion of longer book titles.

2. The ability to add to shelves from the library view, like we can add to the shortlist. This would save a HUGE amount of time when adding new books, as I wouldn't have to open each and every shelf.

3. The ability to "stack" books from the search option in shelves. Unless I'm doing something wrong, when I search for a book when adding to a shelf, I can only search and add one at a time. Say you have books listed both under "author: last name, first name" and "author: first name last name". The way the search is set up now, I can only choose one book, add it, then I have to open search again and do the whole thing over. I'd like to be able to add the book, use the back button, add another book, etc.

A couple general observations:

Why was the library single book page view removed? Did people complain about that? Just wondering.

Also, I'm still having the problem where, when my device is plugged in and connected to my computer, if the Kobo Desktop software is running, my device will disconnect from my computer after a couple of minutes and isn't recognized.

If any of you remember, last year I was having this issue where it was happening all the time, regardless, and I actually had to have my device replaced. Now it stays connected as long as the Kobo software isn't running; as soon as I run the Desktop software, there goes my device. Does anybody else experience this?
