You could always get an ipad or something, then you could have animated cover art! [jokes]
Honestly, what do you spend more time doing? Looking at cover art, or reading a book? I think that was amazon's idea when designing title selection.

You know, I'm almost sorry I ever brought up this topic. The whole point of this thread was to revise my initial opinion of my Kindle; that is, that after comparing it to other e-readers, I LOVE my Kindle.
I don't want animation, I don't want color, I don't want an I-anything, and I could care less about using an extra CPU cycle (you know, like every time you refresh a page, regardless of what's on it). I'm not talking about browsing cover art collections for hours instead of reading either.
All I said was I'd appreciate a thumbnail of the cover art thumbnails next to the titles in my book list. They help jog my memory when I've got a ton of new unread books.
If you don't want cover art thumbnails, then be happy Amazon didn't give us any choice to customize our Kindles!
