That's how every address book in the world (or at least the US) works. You know... Tabs for the first letter of peoples names. With some having multiple letters. A, B, ... M-N-O, ... X-Y-Z. Usually about 20 tabs. All I'm suggesting is that you get a nice little alphabetic listing, pre-split by tenths.

If it doesn't work for everyone, well, it would be an easy option to offer. Could even be configurable.

KISS is all very well and good. But anyone who is likely to put hundreds of books on their reader (or more!) is likely to be able to handle an interface like the one I described.
