I want to develop an iPhone-like browsing interface for demo the books 
we have and I thought about starting with what is already built on 
calibre and improve it a bit, run it as a stand-alone and then 
submitting the code back, wondering if there will be interest in it.

What I would like to do is to improve the interface a bit.

  - the graphics are a bit jagged
  - the movement is a bit jumpy
  - the movement dies off a bit to quick

and possibly make it touch sensitive on a tablet or other touch 
sensitive screens and sensitive to drag speeds so one can look easily in 
a collection of hundreds and may be thousands of e-books.

My first question, as a newbie, is there a way to run that pane, by 
itself ? Can anyone provide some sample code ? I saw the Manual secion 
on "Using calibre in your projects" but have not been able to move from 
there.

Is there interest or somebody else working on similar things ?
