My bigger issue with the iBooks app - and I'm really interested to see if anyone else has noticed this & can provide an explanation - is this: books in the iTunes library have MUCH smaller file sizes than when loaded on the iPad. For example: Book "A", in iTunes library is 200KB. However, when loaded to my iPad, it is now 1MB.
That is odd. I don't have my Mac handy, but is it storing the cover separately?

(And I have under 100 books, and..3-4 second delay as well-I'm hoping this is a 1.0 issue, as it is weird to have it open up to an empty bookshelf every time...or I'll do what scottj does and just go to list view)
