This is the point that Purple Lady and Dhevi made about the Nova Launcher. At the time I cavalierly said I wouldn't fix it. If Samsung devices behave like that then perhaps I should add the text. The problem: "Calibre Companion Grid View" etc won't fit on many devices, resulting in ellipsis. Do you think I could use "CC Grid View" and new users would understand? Or perhaps "Grid View Calibre Companion" and let the word "Companion" get the ellipses (I don't like this much)? Or perhaps "Cal Comp Grid View"? Or perhaps do nothing after all?
EDIT: Idea: one of the books could be the CC logo, making "CC something" be OK.

The grid widget is useable - with small fingers - but the images offer rather a small target. I think list or stack work better in v4.0.4.

I sized all of them at 1x1, figuring that people would resize them to whatever they want. However, as you point out some people might not know how to resize them.
How about I make the default size for the grid and stack views 2x2 and the default for the list view 1x2? A user can resize them smaller or larger.
