Somehow the Widgets are now limited to 20 books.

The setting for maximum number of books when you add a widget seems to have no effect.

I tried 50, but as soon as I add the 21st book, the last book disappears. If I remove a book from the widget the last book does not re-appear, instead I now have 19 books. Upsetting since I was adding a bunch of books to read next, and lost a few off the bottom. I seem to remember that internally CC used to keep an infinite (or huge) list of books added to widget, and the setting when adding a widget only specified how many from the internal list would be shown. Now, it's 20.

And speaking of widgets......

It would also be wonderful is there was some kind of shortcut to go from a widget to the listing in CC. Perhaps a long hold tap, like several seconds? Right now it's pretty painful to get to the listing for a book I've just finished reading, I have to look up the title, so a search, and so on.

So... would be great to have some kind of trick to get from the widget to the info page in CC!

If there really is no way to get from the widget to CC, maybe a way to view the list of books opened in the same order as widget shows. Perhaps a new Group?
