Unless I'm missing something, I'm finding I can no longer page through content in library view...you have to put in the page number and then "go". That's a pain. That said, it's possible to view more than 5 books, so you can see more per page. I like to page through some of my books every once in awhile. Otherwise, I forget what I have with over 400 or so books...
and not everything is on shelves yet.
