I can understand all the cover thumbnails and metadata taking memory/processing, but surely just the list of book indexes must be tiny, just a few bytes per book in the list?
I was pretty sure (had hoped) it kept a list of indexes far longer than the widget limit.

CC cannot treat sort/group values from the widgets for several technical reasons.
Ahhh, but there is no way to set the CC date read field without first finding the book. Let me give some typical flow:

Browse a few books searching, add them to the widget, pick one to read, days later when finished reading it how do I mark it as read in CC?
I have to do a search on the author/title, and find the book in CC, then mark as read.

I've never found a way to mark a book as read without manually searching for it... again. That's why I was hoping for a shortcut from the widget to the CC view.

It looks like you can catch a double tap on a widget, would this work in the CC widget to get to CC from a double tapping on a books icon?
