book list

peaceridge · 04-16-2026, 10:48 AM

Is there anyway to view the books in list order without the covers and tags? I have a lot of books and the covers and tags take up so much space I can't see the titles and authors.

Hi, can you please post a screenshot of this?
I cannot imagine now, how covers and tags take up so much space, that title and authors cannot be seen.

Sure, I'm probably doing something wrong. I have to try to read the titles and authors off of the book cover rather than under the cover.

Hi peaceridge, thanks for the screenshot.
A few things I noticed:

1. Your device's accessibility settings have the text size set quite large, which is making everything appear bigger than usual.

2. Your library is currently sorted by Progress (you can see this from the blue up/down arrow icon). That's why the author name isn't showing. Switch the sort option to Author and you'll see it again.

3. It also looks like the book Title is hidden from the display. To bring it back, tap the "..." menu in the top right, go to Grid Display, and enable Title.

Let me know if that helped.

I'm in v2.1(2).

2. yes, but if I switch to author sort, I lose in progress. However, by switching around, I'm getting the titles. Thanks.
3. Grid Display is great. I turned off series and tags and can see the titles much better. But, I'm still losing the author. Can I turn it on under the cover somewhere?

In trying things, I somehow got in progress percent switched from 0% down to 100%, to the other direction 100% down to 0%. How do I switch it back, I need the least read books first.

ahh, now I've lost the Grid Display! sorry I'm so inept!

Sort by 'Recently Read'.
