I think for a better user experience we should unify the naming in the app.
Currently we are using "catalog" and "library" interchangeably. We should communicate with our users in a consistent way.

Probably this screenshot describes the level of confusion around the naming, taken from macOS,
showing both the welcome screen and the settings at the same time:

@BPerlakiH After thinking twice I believe:

  • The catalog is the list of books metadatas
  • The (online) library is the list of books (with metadata)

I challenge therefore the idea that both words have the same meaninh.

Here we fetch the online library catalog.

I would suggest to change in most places the wording from "Library" to catalog.
We have a couple of very obvious cases, such as:

On second screen shot (settings), it is also a bit confusing, as we really filter the entries in the catalog by user selected language(s), so these 2 sections Library and Catalog really referring to the same thing, I would say.

Maybe download (using cellular) is really part of getting the book from the library, but the languages could go under the Catalog.

I'm unsure about the solution to implement. Postponing.
