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.

Thanks for posting these. I agree that the content lister is much better with covers in the icons, but I would really like the images to be extratracted from the prc file automagically, and to have a content lister mode that shows 9 or 16 covers on the screen. with minimal wordage around them.
