Tested the new bookshelf view with 8.99 portable. Works nicely. I used my custom pages column as the basis, as the automatic count was wildly inaccurate in a few cases (with one ordinary epub - about 200,000 words, no images - it gave me 4800 pages
). Mostly, the count was more or less as expected, though.
I notice that if you group by authors, the books will be grouped by the author's first name. Shouldn't they be grouped by the last name (i.e. using author sort)?
Many thanks to Kovid and other contributors.
