This is a recorded feature request:
https://github.com/kguil/Marvin-Roadmap/issues/142
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.
