Tab page (next to "Books") on author pages for types of works that are listed, e.g. books tab, short stories tab, novella, anthology, etc.
We're working on an update to our list pages that'll allow this. The idea is that anywhere there's a list of books it'd have the same controls and filtering options.
This is something we definitely want to do! Having that "type" for a book will allow for a lot of segmentation about the book.
For example, this would allow setting goals based on book type ("read 100 books" is a much different goal than "read 100 comic books").
So far none of the data sources we're using have data about the type of book. I suspect for this to work we'd need to allow user annotations to fill in the missing gap here. That could be completely community-driven, or moderator driven – that's to be determined – but having this categorization for every book is very important. to us too.
