I have updated to the newest version. The sync time has improved greatly - on my ~22,000 book library the time went from 9 minutes to 3 minutes.

The time factor is still an issue. I open the app 3 minutes to sync, then i do a search 3 more minutes to get results. If set my phone down to wait and the screen goes to sleep, 3 more min to resync and yet another 3 minutes to search again.

I did manage an author search that I confirmed pulled all books for the author. I also did a genre search - I have a hierarchical genre and when I searched mystery it pulled all books for mysteries with any subgenre which is what I was expecting.

I think I agree with Incanus, if a wireless connection is planned, it may be more practical for those with large libraries.
