This is a recorded feature request:

so it might appear in Marvin in future.

This is definitely on the schedule of Marvin's development:

https://github.com/kguil/Marvin-Roadmap/issues/109

and it's possibly at the top of the priorities list.

I agree that this could be improved. The right-hand panel is a serviceable solution, but it all appears to be "squeezed" into a narrow space there. Someone commented here the other day, that for managing large amounts of books, nothing can beat the dead app, Stanza, even today. I agree.

But, you know, to me the question of managing books, or even of the entire library, is of decidedly secondary importance compared to the reading experience. When it comes to that, it's no contest -- Marvin crushes both iBooks and Kindle and their crude lack of customisation options, poor annotations functionality, etc.
