This is after the ebook is opened, which can take multiple seconds and there are eight ebooks per page. So this approach can't be used in real time while forming the list of ebooks. I agree that something like a cache of authors and titles would work, but it is a significant change to the current "extract when making the listing" approach. I think it is possible that the metadata can be extracted fast enough from an epub to use it in real time, but what is needed first is a C program (say) that does this and nothing else. By the way, it is definitely possible to extract the author and title from a MOBI in real time, so at a minimum Jinke should add MOBI to the class of metadata-visible formats.
