libprs for example already gets most metadata (including ISBN) if you specify just the title, or just the author.

I don't think a GUI that display covers is really a good idea. Sure it looks great for a little while, but it makes actually getting information about your books much harder, since you have to click each books to get any non-cover information about it, rather than just reading it off at a glance.
