This is very nice. I am still playing with it, but it seems complete and fast. In all cases I have gotten the correct results. One small request. for rating, could you show a line of stars (like in the book details page) instead of a number?

I like this a lot, but I think you should go farther and but every section longer than one entry into a subscreen. The loss of time in having to go to a submenu is more than made up for (IMO) by the greater ease in finding the correct section.

I like this new functionality a lot, although as DoctorOh said, I can't get into book details from the book list.

Love the Title text in Grid view. That's a better way to do my suggestion which I hadn't thought of. One suggestion: Instead of showing the entire title text, perhaps just show the first few characters. Its less cluttered and it actually makes it easier to see where you are in the list because there is less on the display to distract you. You might even want to experiment with only showing the values in the first (or perhaps the last) column for the same reason.

I never get a scroller in the grouping drawer that I can grab. I also can't see any scroll bar (even when I have it always on) unless I set it to left side.

I just spent the last 5 minutes flinging and grabbing in the grid, and in each case the cover matched the book when I went into the details to verify.
