Funny. I said the content area - as I was too lazy to log in and look up the actual name, if it has one.

Have you ever thought about generating a catalog for all "On Device" books, using Calibre?

You can browse by author, series, titles, genres/tags, and when you find a book, read the description and such. You can actually embed a custom column into the description. I add a custom column "Class" to the description. That column contains stuff like:

A: 1-100 (Short Story)
B: 101-200 (Novella)
...

This gives me an indication of the length while browsing in the catalog.

After I find a book I just punch the author's last name and a keyword of the title into the Kindle's search, and presto.
I am slowly starting to backup my books in Calibre, but would still like to have them organized on the site. It does not make any sense that I can't filter my purchases at least by genre. Plus, I don't surf from my PC, and can't put Calibre on my iPad or phone.
