Comment(by jdsimmons):

 In the Help text (with the Groucho Marx quote) I suggest using the "Keep"
 button after each download to create a Journal entry.  I also say that you
 can use the "Escape" key to remove the results table from the screen and
 start reading.  The thing is, if you do use "Keep" you can download a
 whole lot of books in one session.  Much faster than limiting you to one
 per session.  So my position is:

 1). It works the way you want it to if you read the instructions.

 2). The instructions are the very first thing you see when you open the
 Activity.

 I understand that people don't read instructions.  So, my question would
 be:

 Is there any way to automatically do a "Keep" after each download?

 I'm thinking that maybe I need to put some kind of close button on my
 results table.  That I can probably figure out how to do.

 The "split view" isn't.  I tried using a split view but found it
 impossible to control the position of the splitter.  I use a VBox, which
 automatically divides up the screen evenly.
