For example, you currently have a type column which is restricted to three pre-defined types. It is fairly trivial to change this to build the dictionary based on the actual values and then display the top 10 values.

Theoretically I think it is doable; the main challenge there would be striking a balance between flexible stats and a cohesive graphical layout. There is always the question, do people want to see a single snapshot of highlights and charts with minimal scrolling, or do they want expanded options to see "top 10 genres", "top 5 authors", etc. Then how that would be integrated and exported in the wrap-up is another consideration. With time, I'm sure anything can be figured out.
