Sounds good Dwayne, I will definitely keep playing with this.
On the subject of displaying metadata, have you considered the use case of a user with many books and a poor memory "shopping" their library for something to read? Rather than, say, searching for a specific book, I imagine scrolling through my library with maybe a pop-up window with the full metadata, including the publisher's blurb (if I have loaded it in the description) making finding a book enjoyable.
Looking at your bookstore, I feel that the data there is very sparse, probably not enough for an unfamiliar book to grab me. I see that I could read a sample, but I need to be somewhat engaged before I will do that. Have you considered making the descriptions richer?
It certainly looks promising!
