It would provide an at a glance view of more covers than calibre's current cover views. Many people, when searching for a books vaguely sticking in their memory, more often remember how the cover looked than the actual title or author. This kind of a view of one's books could be faster for manual searches in that kind of a situation (personally, it wouldn't be of much use to me that way). Others may want a flashy display of their books, sort of a cyber books on the wall display to impress people with. An auto page turn option, like a slide show, would be useful here (again, I would have little use for something like that but then, I'm not everyone).
