I'm not sure if this is meant to go here, so appologies if it is in the wrong section.

I would like to request a new catalog option for the Epub format. What I would like to see is a way to create a simple catalog of my books that can be opened on my reader. I know there are current catalogs but they contain a lot of information that I do not really need.

The idea behind this catalog is simple - to enable myself (and others if they choose) to view the series available and the order of the books in them. This would be perhaps a series per page no details just what books and what order to read them in - perhaps the authors name. For example:

Series 1
Book 1 - Author
Book 2 - Author
Book 3 - Author

Some of this information is available in the current Epub catalog but it appears to order the series by author rather than the books themselves.

At the moment I find myself either creating an index manually and adding that in, or putting a number infront of the book title to let myself know which order to read them in. This isn't obviously a major problem but I just thought the feature would be nice and perhaps useful to other people aswell.

Thankyou for taking the time to read my post.

This is obviously a personal enhancement request hence the use of I a lot. I speak only for myself and do not expect or demand anything including but not limited to immediate resolution, instant response, absolute agreement.
