Indeed, however I find the cover browser to be too limited to find the book that I need. I have a few hundred books, and I would like to narrow down by a tag or two before I start looking for covers. Also, the whole animation thing is nice but not productive.
Hi,

I'm a little late to this thread (Saturdays are for catching up). But can't you do a search for the tags or terms that you want (or simply select an author or a series from the tag browser) and get the targetted set you want. Then when you invoke the cover browser, those are the books you'll see covers for. When I did a version of my library for my mother, she was overwhelmed with the forest too. Then I clicked on her favourite author and only those books came up ... all 200+ of them. Still ...

Despite a fairly substantial library, ALL with covers from some source, or default covers I created by modifying Kovid's default cover, I actually don't use the cover browser much. I target the description, my desired rating and then use that to form my reading list. The list goes onto the Kindle each week during the charging/updating and Bob's your uncle.

Regards, GM
