Is it possible to add a feature to change/adjust column widths in the "your books" menu?

Remove columns in the Settings and the remaining columns get wider.

You can also set up various styles for different purposes. Some columns take up more space than others, so it makes sense not to include them when they are not needed.

Most browsers will adjust the column width according to the typical width of the contents. There is a CSS property of min-width.

Normally it just works. But to assess this, it might help to know things like:

* Computer operating system and version
* Browser and version
* Screen width and window width

If the screen is too small, it could be an issue when you have many columns in a table list view.

It may be possible to override the LT defaults with the Stylus plugin (for Chrome and perhaps others) where you can take a given URL pattern and set the CSS for a selector for a column. It depends on how technical you are.
