We are talking about two different applications for thread prefixes now, right? I absolutely agree with you, we must not fall into the trap of using thread prefixes for irrelevant purposes. But when we talk about genres, so specifically about the e-book upload forum sections, I think having a thread prefix for each e-book makes sense in order to give the book a general categorization. The book uploader (and everyone member btw) is free to add tags to the e-book which will then also add to the tag cloud.
