I started using this tonight, and I like it, but I have an idea that might make it easier to use.
Instead of cutting of at a certain number of characters, how about cutting it off at a certain number of lines. Since the purpose of this is to limit how much space the books takes up on the list, it is really number of lines that users want to limit, not the number of characters.
The big advantages to doing it by lines is that
1) The first time a user does it, they don't have to do a trial and error to see how many characters there are in 1, 2, or 3 (or however many lines they want) lines.
2) If the user ever changes their font size, their selection will continue to work.
