Hi people involved in the UI design/development of the Add-Ons App,
I just saw Aaron's presentation at his blog 
(http://aseigo.blogspot.de/2012/04/add-ons-app-preview.html) and I really 
liked what I saw :)
The column swiping interaction looks very useful. I'll have to see how this 
can be generalized and put into an HIG.
Here are some small things that I suggest thinking about:
- I found the wording "Uninstall" for books a bit strange. It makes sense for 
apps, but I don't think it fits for books. Maybe just "Remove"?
- Maybe the "Read" button for installed books should be placed above the 
"Remove" button. The advantage of the current button order is that it makes 
clear that "Download" and "Uninstall" (or "Remove") are basically two sides of 
one coin. However, if a user uses the add-ons app as the starting point for 
reading e-books, "Read" would be the primary function, not "Remove", and thus 
it should come first.
- There should be a "Remove" button for Wallpapers as well ;)

All in all, congrats for a nice app!

Thomas
