I have three small suggestions/requests and a possible bug. I sent them to you in an email, but I thought this might be a better forum for them:

1) You can drag from left to right to open the grouping drawer, but it might be nice if there was a simple way to close it as well. Three possibilities that I though of are
a) Drag right to left
this is already there. Drag from the vestigial book view.

b) double tap in the drawer
c) Automatically close it when a leaf of the grouping tree is selecting (letter for title,
author name, series name, etc).
I will think about these. I am not sure about the double tap, because it could easily Get confused by someone tapping quickly to navigate.

Note that you can tap the drawer icon in the upper left corner to open and close the drawer.

2) When you select a series in the grouping, and then go back to the main screen, it shows:

Series: XXXX.... [] [] []

Which isn't really useful, because you can't ever see much of the series name. It might be nice to have an option to hide the view-type/sorting/connect buttons. Perhaps if these function appeared in the menu, it wouldn't be necessary to have them on the main screen.
you must be using a phone.

This might be possible. The major issue is that every option costs us support time, something that became very apparent with some of the options I added early on but perhaps shouldn't. We need to be sure that any new option is fully justified.

3) Would it be possible to add an option to hide grouping methods that are not desired. For example, I only ever group by title, author, series, and #shelfname (a calibre custom column). I would love to hide tags, publisher and rating. Others might have different ones.
Again, We will need to think about the pros and cons.

Lastly, I don't think the "Show grouping drawer buttons" does anything. Checked or not, everything seems to look the same.
There is a bug. The preference change isn't taken into account until the app is restarted.
