I'm personally missing search in the Library window, but I found that there is no such search in the upstream FBReader either. Ideally I would like to have a limiting search like in the contact application so that when you start typing only the entries that match are shown. I have far too many books installed and flipping through them searching for them is too inefficient...

Hello, Rob1n
Could you please return the standard Hildon notifications (rather than the gray messages at the top left corner) and do something about the Library window (barely useful in the new version)?

Btw, do you have a public repo with your maemo source changes for FBReader?

Still, perhaps that means it'll be coming in a future release.

What's wrong with the Library window? It works perfectly well here.
To read a book, you can't tap on the book's icon or title which are quite big, but You have to hit the really small 'Read book' link instead. If You have multiple categories and open one of them than the only way to get to another category is to either scroll through all the books (remember - only five fit on a page, so scrolling is annoying) or scroll back to the category and hide the list there. And there is no search field to filter the list (to achieve less scrolling), so the Library really is merely unusable...
So, if You would:
- allow to close a category using a button (there is plenty of space at the bottom)
- make the list of books more condensed to fit more books on a page (I suggest getting rid of the links below title, ie. read, edit and remove book - the screen space is too precious to have them where they are)
- allow to open a book by tapping the book's icon and title
- allow to filter the list of books
that would in my opinion make it more usable than it is now.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Nice; Ctrl-C to copy and Ctrl-V to paste are now working, and Copy Selection to Clipboard is back.
