Indeed.

Although, they do support a book feature that would let you 'find' books that match a given criteria in either meta-data or the book content. However, I am skeptical regarding the search speed. From the documentation, it does not appear that you can tell it to only search the meta-data.
If you have your library displayed by author or title, you can jump to a first letter with the keyboard. It helps some. Otherwise you can use the search, and -- unless this has changed -- there is no way to limit the search only to metadata.
