Sorry for the confusion. My device is indeed rooted. I have the Google Play store installed and configured as my default market.

1) You have CC open in list mode in either portrait or landscape. All is well.

3) You change orientation to landscape. Things settle.
4) You start CC. You see the wood background with no books.
Right?

Almost right. I don't see the wood background... only a white background with the title bar (see attached screen-shot).

Sorry again for any confusion. It doesn't "change" from list to grid; I only meant that I get the same behavior (partial blank screen) whether I'm configured for list or grid view.

Thanks!

Same as above. There is no background, per se (screenshot attached).

I guess "relatively easy" is relative. I find the rooting process rather painless myself. I have to do it every time I update the device.
