The title sums it up well. Over the long weekend I rooted my Fire, installed the Play Store, and purchased the latest CC. I absolutely love the grouping and grid (bookshelf) view features!

See my recent post about the #read column for one way the grouping feature has been helpful.

I've been using the grid view to clean up my library. I had a bunch of books that didn't have covers, or had the wrong covers. Using the grid view, it's easy for me to see when that's the case. I can then go to calibre on my computer, select the books, and get covers. I know I can do that in calibre as well, using the cover flow or grid view there, but it's somehow more comfortable for me to do the research portion on my Fire.
