Wow, Nice work. The layout is just about right. Images seem right. But there is one snag (wish I had a video camera to film it).
The new view (Audiobook) is only available if you make a "Smart Playlist" with a type set to "Song". This makes the end result look like a very Very long line of the tracks. The new view needs to be available for when you make a "Smart Playlist" that is type set to "Album". This way makes it act like a the normal music library (not jukebook view) that is sorted by "artist/Album" so that as you scroll a long, You see the albums and then when you click in to one you go the the next view level which is the normal song view, You can then scroll down and pick you track that you wish to listen too.
Easiest way to think about it is, Just think normal music library views with tall images. You almost have it.
Best thing is, If you pull it off. You will be the 1st on the block to have full "AudioBook" support in XBMC. Best show that off to the DEVs if I was you ;-)
BTW, Very clever idea to use the audio file "Comment" tag for the summary or description. I Was going to ask about that at a latter point. But I was going to say stick with the normal way of just having a .nfo file like XBMC likes with albums. Night does not use it. But some skins do.
