Believe it or not, this is one of the features I want most! But not because of space.

Here's my thinking: I keep about 10 books on the Reader now. (Started out with about two, but I like the greater variety, and having some queued up for later.) I like the main list of books to be clean. That's what it's all about for me.

I want the main list to be on one page if possible, and I feel irrationally happy when after finishing a book I can delete it. Hard to explain, except that it's very similar to finishing a todo on a task list. Doesn't it feel really good to cross it off?!!!

On the other hand, If there were really slick categories that were well-integrated into all the menus, I probably would be happy if I could move the book into a "Finished" category and out of the main book list, but I think that would be a lot of software work, and I don't think they'd get it right anyway.
