I suspect I may be at a bookstore and grab a new Kathy Reichs or Janet Evanovitch - only to discover by reading the synopsis that I have the book. I just cannot recognize the cover.
And I suspect shopping on Amazon I may try to re-purchase a book because I dont recognize the cover.
Sounds funny - but if the Kindle/Nook would flash up the cover art of the book I am currently reading on the screen for a few seconds - it might help. It may also help convert people.

My Sony T1 shows the cover of my latest book when it is in sleep mode. I love that feature!
I always page back to the beginning of the book when I read on my Kindle. It feels like I am starting in the middle of a book if I don't do that. Fortunately, I only purchase freebies for my Kindle as I would prefer to not *pay* and then have to work so hard to see the cover.
(If I'm spending real money on a book, I buy the pre-formatted epub and read it on some device -- on either the T1 or a mobile device using an app -- where I can see the cover each time I open the book.
