I like flicking through the cover browser every now and then. It is one of the few semi-tangible things that you can see to represent your ebook collection, and is closely related to scanning your eye along rows of books on shelves. Something that pleases the collector instinct!

Anyway, the covers are 2D, it might make them look slightly more like books if they had a bit of depth too? You could even have longer books slightly thicker!

Something for developers who have run out of better things to do? Which never happens of course.
