Another thing I would love to see. This has probably been mentioned before but who can review 48 pages? When I'm looking at my Holds screen, I see "You are user 10 out of 21 on the waiting list." But in order to see how many copies of that book the library owns, I have to click on the book. If I am 10th in line, and the library owns 1 copy, that means I can expect the book in around 20 weeks. But if the library owns 5 copies, that means I can expect the book in around 2 weeks.* So, without the number of copies on the Hold screen, the waiting list information is not very helpful.

*Someone will probably critique my math, but I think we can all agree that if the library owns 5 copies, I'm going to get my copy much faster than if the library owns 1 copy.

Your math may or may not be faulty. Some libraries allow 14-days and some allow 21-days. Most people are set to the default longest borrowing time. So if it is 21-days and the library owns just 1 copy, it can be about 33 weeks. You have to know the borrow time for that particular library.
