I've started to use the Calibre widget because I realized that using it fixes a problem I have had with the Moon widget. When I open PDF attachments in email, they show up in the widget, even though I don't care about them after the initial read. I don't have that problem with the Calibre widget.

Yes, but a widget that just showed the last X books covers in a row (whatever would fit) with no scrolling might be nice. That would actually be the one I would use. Most recent book on the left, three next older books to the right.

- Should there be a way to add a book to the list without actually opening it in a reader, probably a menu line in book details? This would would make the list more akin to "books I have read or want to read".
- Corallary to the above, should there be a way to remove a book from the list?

My personal feeling is that any hard wired relatively small number is fine.
I don't think it needs the ability to add or remove books. That sounds like a lot of work for a relatively rare use-case. Plus, its easy to add a book just by opening it and hitting the back button.
