I had the same thought. Therefore I never put a lot of books onto my Kindle; it is just not possible to choose a book based on the author, title, and series.

A few days ago I decided to look into the catalog option of Calibre, just because I had never used it before. It generates a book of everything you select in your library.

You can browse that catalog by author, genre/tags, seies, read book descriptions, and so on. After you find the book you want to read, you can search for it by searching for the author's name and one or two words from the title.

That catalog is *almost* having Calibre on the device itself.

I like it so much that I've put all my currently unread books onto the reader, together with a catalog that lists all those books.

(I have created a custom column with book lengths, such as "A: 1-100 (Short Stories), and have it included in the book's description. The exact page count is put into the book's title, using a plugboard. That way, I even have this information available without actually opening the book.)
