I like the re-design.
I have some 3500+ books in my library, so it is really never a good use of time to page through them, whether it is 7-8 at a time or 4-5 at a time. That said, it’s much easier to jump around now by using the scroll indicator or tapping some position to jump to (randomly tapping if you want to find something by serendipity). Search remains the best way to find something if you know some part of title or author in any library with more than a few hundred items.
I think they would do well to offer a List view without thumbnails, not just so more items can display, but so that they could use larger text for the title/author. And if you are using personal docs you don’t have to see a bunch of things without cover images (of course it would be nice if it Kindle would just generate thumbnails for them like it does with the Kindle apps).
Likewise, some folks would like a List mode when in Collections view.
Collections have more ‘show’ options and you can set filters when viewing them.
They need to fix the ‘missing author metadata’ problem (which predates these updates) so that author search/sort/display works 100% instead of 99%.
And Author grouping option, please.
