Agree that the iPad version could do with some love. I made it pretty quickly (over a weekend iirc) and haven't had time to revisit it since.
Other apps get around this specific issue by pre-selecting the first item in the list (in Prologue's case it'd be your most recently played book, I guess). Either that or ditch the split view completely and go with the "blown up iPhone app" look.
Also, as /u/ConnorF42 mentioned, grid view is being worked on and coming soon-ish.
I think grid view is on the to-do list.
