Sorry to disagree, but that is one of THE major features that most using the PB360 love and impressed them enough to buy it =)
As of right now, I dont know of a theme that would allow you to display your books the way you have them set up on your reader. You want to just see them as book covers correct? Not see the directory first then when selected see the listing of the books?
I assume you currently have your books set up in directories on your PB360 by authors name.
IE -
Authors name1 (directory)
.. book 1
.. book 2
.. etc
Authors name2 (directory)
.. book 1
.. book 2
.. etc
If so, what you will want to do is have all the books be in only one directory. You could still incorporate authors name / series / book in the title of each file for sorting etc.
Personally, I perfer to have each authors books in its own directory, I then set the book names with series / series # - book title inside that directory.
Makes it way easier to find and organize =)
Just to let you know why people think that way of organizing things is great ( directory structure etc), I currently have over 1200 books by 403 authors on my ereader.
There is NO WAY i want to be forced to sort thru all my books tring to find the next one to read.
There is a better way to find / see books then listed above ( putting them all in one directory ), you could get a copy of Calibre ( sub form here on this board ).
This is a book cataloging / library program that is SUPPER easy to use, keeps track of all your books ( including covers / subnopsis ), and helps you manage what is on your ereader.
I use it as a master library catalog, moving books to my reader etc. It has great preview features and what have you.
Please check it out ... on the website for it the creator has a small video describing features etc.
If you start using it, I promise that you will wonder how you ever got along with out it.
