Currently the cover image updated by the context menu only takes effect on closing and re-opening Bookworm. Fix this by updating the Library View with the new image for the book as soon as the User selects a new image for the cover in the context menu

Yeah, the icon is missing like you said ;)
But as per the rest of the elementary apps, you should add the About item to the .desktop's as a quick list item instead of adding it on the menu. You know, for consistency :)
Is it possible to include an option to sync the book list with https://www.librarything.com/ or to import an online database from LibraryThing into bookworm?

You should use those names on all the fies (Images, .desktop, gsettings) you include with your app, or else AppCenter will yell at you when you try to push it ;) Also, you should create an appdata file :)

For an example, you can see https://github.com/Philip-Scott/Spice-up as i've still haven't updated the notes app to use IDs ๐
After the previous update, the ebook reader is not working. It can't show any content.

Add a context menu for each book in the Library View to show:
1- Update Cover Image : Should open a window and allow user to choose a image
2- Update Book Title if the default cover is being used: Text Entry with current title populated
3- Add tags to a book : Text Entry with current tags populated
4- Add rating for the book : Usual 5 stars to choose from
Design a capability for users to categorise their books in bookworm and then filter by category...
It will be difficult for scrolling through a large number of books in cover view mode. So the following needs to be done:
Showing the correct image of the book cover - At the moment unless the ebook specifies a size for the image the image fills the whole content area and appears stretched. Handle this situation by specifying the size such that the image shows nicely
AppCenter Dashboard found some issues with your debian/control
file. While we will continue
to try to build your project, we recommend you take a look and fix these
problems for next time.

In the library view, add a progress bar under each book to show the read progress
There is a lag while Bookworm is closing as the state of each book in the library is saved to database. This lag increases when the number of books in the library is more.
Fix the issue so that the window is closed quickly and the process for saving the state of the books is done in the background
Bookworm looks extremely promising and I hope that it will quickly gain popularity beyond your main target operating system. I happen to prefer Solus instead of elementary OS. Is there any chance that you can look into making your application look great with the arc-theme and perhaps make it more distro-agnostic? See: https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme
If you could open ebooks right from your file manager into the app it would be awesome!
Bonus points: If the book you opened was already added before, and you were on a certain page, open it on that page

It would be great, If we can import multiple files to the Library at once. Currently, we have to import books one by one.
When multiple books are selected for addition to Bookworm, the app freezes untill all books are parsed and added to the library. A progress bar can be shown showing the progress of the books being added and the application should not freeze.
The screenshot in the AppData points to a file that doesn't exist anymore. Should update that :)
Also, you should use the raw
subdomain as in https://raw.githubusercontent.com/babluboy/bookworm/master/screenshots/...
I think Table of content button only should be available, whenever a user is reading a page. I would like to propose a design concept here from Photos app.
Just like the Photos app, Bookworm will show show a "Library" navigation button to navigate to Library view. And maybe sidebar of the app will show the table of contents, whenever a user clicks on the expand button below. Which can also be Hidden.
Currently the cover image of any ebook is stretched to the full width. If it would be possible life "Easy Ebook Viewer" to specify the cover image and give it a certain width to be stretched. So that, the Cover Image would look much beautiful
The About Dialog is coming up as a grey transparent box with a white spinner in the middle...
During uploading on Google Drive, I can select files using arrow keys and they look like this in the file chooser.
Bookworm currently can't select by arrow key while importing books to the library. Besides, whenever I try to use the arrow key, the picker gets slow and also unable to use mouse at the moment.

As per elementary Human Interface Guidelines, you should make your app remember the state it was left on. This includes:
For the things not on the dabatase, you can use GSettings to save them :)
because everything published in AppCenter is for elementary OS. It's a little redundant ;)
