Yeah, that's it, I have to first open every recently added book to get it to show up in my library list.
Plus, the 3x5 cover view on the other pages of the main menu is perfect. Library's cover view makes the covers far too big and you can't turn off grouping by date (so, for example, I'm only seeing two covers right now). The list view is OK, but it's a little annoying to use it and knowing the 3x5 cover view exists on the main menu
