Some suggestions that I think don't look good on top of what the other people already said:

- The book covers are the main part of your app, so they should stand out by either using the book cover, or a place holder which the book title being presented in a way that doesn't result in 5 line breaks

I usually download some additional metadata and then send it to my Kindle via the "Mail to Kindle" Mail address, I could probably script that part easily but for the few times I use it right now I'll just have to stick to the GUI.
