In stores we do get some piles of books out on tables, and others with their covers on display for promotion, but most are in shelves. I suppose the equivalent in Calibre might be for it to spread a random selection of covers out in the viewer when no title is selected. That might be quite fun!
Anyway, I've got no issue with a thumbnail view being included, it would add another string to Calibre's already substantial bow.
