I have to admit that about once a week I muddle through the whole list.

It is already pretty darned big. Do people really read the whole list, in
order? I have only ever used my browser's search function to deal with
this monster. My first reaction is that perhaps it shouldn't be a list at
all, but rather a searchable database. Then it would take no time at all
to load the initial page, and the list of search results would be more
manageable once you got it. Just like Google, or any other search engine.
In the end, you still get a list to read through, but you get only 50
matches, instead of five thousand!
Perhaps further creative use of filters might assist in making the Step 1
list easier to deal with. The list already has a drop-down list box that
allows one to filter out all results except, for example, those which are
in RTF format. I can imagine the same logic being applied to restrict the
list output to include only mysteries, only books that are awaiting
download, or if you use both filters, only mysteries that are awaiting
download!
This stuff can make your brain hurt, but it is very powerful stuff. As the
currently incarcerated Martha Stewart might say, "it's a good thing."
