The 3 attached screenshots illustrate the issue.
The 1st shows files that have been copied to the CF card, but not opened. In some cases the contentLister lists the book's title but in other cases it lists the books filename.
The 2nd shows what happens after the files have been opened by the MobiPocket Reader. They are now in individual subdirectories, and in all cases the contentLister lists the books filename (which is also now the subdirectory name). This is because that is how the MobiPocket Reader has configured the manifest.xml files.
The 3rd illustrates what manually editing the manifest.xml files and adding a cover image can do. I left the filename as the title, and added the book name and author in the description field. There are obviously other possible layouts. It is a shame that there isn't room for a 3-line description.
The thumbnails look better in the screenshot on a large desktop display than they do on the iLiad. This is one case where color would help a lot (much more than with larger images). Still, I think they are an improvement over the current default.
Note that all this information, including the cover image (in most cases) is in the .prc or .mobi file. There is no reason why the MobiPocket Reader could not produce a layout like the 3rd screenshot instead of the 2nd screenshot.
As usual, depending on your browser defaults, you may need to click on the expanded image again to get the full sized screenshot.
