True, sorting is not all that useful on the Kindle IMO. I'm hoping for further developments there. On the cover issue, would going to the 'details' page and having the option to page (or arrow) through them without returning to the Home page address your problem?

Along the same lines, I sure do wish there was an option to open the book to the cover page.
I have a few ebooks that open to the cover (even on the Kindle). I believe it is a publishing option that most Publishers are not aware of. Perhaps if more people push for it more Publishers will enable it. (or disable the 'first page' option if that is how it works.)
