The ones that bug me are the categorization ones, baldly meant as a search/sales tactic. To use a few real examples: Lineage: A Supernatural Thriller, Fireball - A compelling crime thriller

I guess your made up example and my factual ones aren't much different. Yet I liked yours and didn't like mine. Maybe there's a fine line to be walked with these titles.
For me, it's more a worry about reaching the maximum file name length limit to the point where the name of directory the file is stored in on my ereader gets shortened.
