In the digital realm of ebooks, at least for me covers are much less important. I see the cover once when I first open a book to read it and then never again, unlike a paper book where I see the cover every time I pick it up. I'm much less likely to associate a specific cover with an ebook than I am the title or author.
I am with you. Bookshelf view is a "Selling Tool".

Use the cover browser, It lets you see parts of the adjoining covers.

You can also click on the Book Browser window and see a larger cover and the Summary, Scrolling is provided.
