I sent three books to the reader at once and didn't notice any rotation. As I said, I had to look at the reader for activity to be sure.
And as for the icons, that was just a small quibble. I use KDE. For my .lrf files, I've set the sytem up to show an icon of the reader itself. For libprs500, I set up a menu item using the same icon with the ubuntu logo superimposed on the screen.
Thanks for answering the question about the library versus the hard drive. I'm still getting used to the library being a database file, rather than a representation of the files on my drive.
And as for the "delete" function, something that makes it clear that it's just a removal (ie "remove from device" or "remove from library") would make me feel better. The first time I used the GUI, I was actually worried that "delete" would get rid of my archived file on the hard drive when I was just removing it from the library.

doesn't the hourglass in the bottom right corner rotate for you? Clicking on it will bring up a listing of active jobs
the icons are shamelessly stolen from the oxygen kde theme. I decided to move to svg icons and that phone icon was the best I could find. If you know of a better one, send it my way.
the library doesn't touch your hard drive it stores the files internally in a database, another design decision based on its cross platform nature. At some point i'll implement a save button that will export files from the database to the hard drive.
Delete books does just that deletes books from either the reader or the internal database. If you have a suggestion for a better term, I'm all ears.
