I think that is fine, my real point is that using the term "Contemporary" is confusing without providing clarification. I suggest that in the future we clearly define what we are applying the "Contemporary" era to.
So if we want to limit the choice to works taking place in contemporary time we state it in the title/description. "Mobileread works that take place in contemporary time".
If we want authors whose body is still warm we say
"Mobileread contemporary authors from any genre or time"

Actually the time period for contemporary is clearly defined, it is anything that took place in post WWII era to present.
