A coupe of years ago I remember being asked by Sony for my views on the 505 and I did suggest a cover flow (a la i-Tunes) would be nice.
However, in the intervening period I have increasingly felt such a facility, whilst visually impressive, would not be that useful. I have taken great care in Calibre to find nice book covers for my e-books, but when I actually seek to find a book I either look by author, title or tag. (Similarly, the media player software I now use on my music server does not display album covers either and I do not miss them).
Having switched to a Kindle from Sony, I cannot say I have missed seeing the book cover at all.
Now, an organisation structure which truly worked on metadata and tags, that would be nice!
