Bummer forever, indeed.
I thought with the Kindle Cloud Reader being so nice about book covers that maybe the new Kindle would implement something similar in e-ink for the home screen. This is just a preference, but it is something that the other touchscreen readers do (of course, those are predominantly epub readers) and it seems that Kindle is a bit behind in that regard for me.

As to the new e-ink devices, a lot of covers are probably hard to recognize and don't look good as gray scale thumbnails.

The Kindle for Android, Kindle for PC, and Kindle Cloud Reader all allow you to browse by title/author while showing the book covers.
