If I was a graphic designer I'd probably do this myself (I might still try) but what I would really like are some iBooks that I personally would be willing to pay a modest sum for if done well.
The first ones I would like is a 26 volume epic saga taking me on a thrilling journey from "A" to "Z". I don't want any words in any of these volumes (OK, copyright and author if you must) , all I care about is the cover art which might be something like a big bold red cover with a large "A", "B", "C" etc on it. What I'm thinking is that, as my library grows, I keep my books in author order so I could install the necessary letters and drag them to the appropriate places on my bookshelf like index tabs in a filing system.
The other book series that I would like would be genre bookmarks with books with covers like "Literature", "Science Fiction", "Science & Nature", "Poetry" etc. This way I could then group my bookshelf into genres and, for a few of the genres, use the "Epic travels from A to Z" series to further divide the genre books by author.
For me the above would make a really nice addition to being able to quickly browse my bookshelf without having to go into list mode (which is actually horrible when browsing by genre because the genre tagging in the iBook store is totally rubbish).
What do others think?
