I don't think a GUI that display covers is really a good idea. Sure it looks great for a little while, but it makes actually getting information about your books much harder, since you have to click each books to get any non-cover information about it, rather than just reading it off at a glance.
I agree it looks good but I dont avtually use that to look for the book!
Its just that as Libprs already gets covers it would be a nice function.

More important and relevant would be a description of the book that could pop up when i click on it in Libprs like an electronic version of reading the back cover.
