Sort of but, not really - I'd still like to see multiple books on one page, but just show me some covers. The three view options available on the kobo (as I linked above) would be perfect.

I'm not sure how it works. But surely the Kindle can force it to open on the 'first' (cover) page of the book/file. Calibre does when you view a book with its built in reader.
