Here's the situation:
I have 1 folder of photos on my phone unsorted and simply titled Books;
I have 8 folders on my Amazon wishlist separated by genre of books;
I have 2 lists on my phone notes, also separated by genre.
I wish to consolidate it all into one large mega list separated by author and genre, in one location.
Is there an app that can do this, where it gives me a PDF with the genre, then alphabetically all the authors in said genre, with a photo of the book on the right hand side so I can see it too, and then a spot to check off books as I get them?
It doesn't necessarily even need to be an app. But some singular method vs so many?
Ideas appreciated!

Spreadsheet on Google Sheets would do it, and would be accessible via smartphone app or web browser. It can do everything you’ve requested here.
But, I question, why do you need such an extensive list of books to read or buy? You will always add more than you can read. Why not, when you want to read or buy a book, read or buy the one that speaks/appeals to you in that moment? If you’ve had a book on a list for awhile and haven’t read it or started it, it obviously isn’t important enough to actually need to be on a list. Do you need to check off the books as you read them? Do you not remember that you’ve read a particular book?
I use the ‘Bookself’ app and it’s ‘Wishlist’ function for my TBRs. When I get the books I move them to a different tab. The only annoying thing is that they push the paid version a lot, but the free version works just fine for me!
