One of reasons in particular I was excited to try InkBox was the Gutenberg integration: I thought I'd get the library browsing experience digitally, such that I could give it to my child.
The Library unfortunately only features two pages of the latest added books, with no customization whatsoever, and Search requires knowledge of the exact title (meaning not even close to the library browsing experience).
At minimum for the Gutenberg integration to make sense (at present, it's just simpler to go to the website, download the book, and drop it onto the device), I would suggest including a toggle in the Library for viewing popular and random books atop the latest added, as well as increasing the number of books fetched to at least 10 pages instead of 2 ("infinite" would be ideal: Gutenberg itself does this, displaying 25 results and then requiring you to press next which fetches another 25).
OR
An alternative approach would be to have the Library display the most frequently downloaded books/authors for that day/week/month, and then add toggles to the Search for random, popular, and recently added books.
In either case, this would dramatically improve the user experience!
