If books have no DRM, you can remove the cover (with Sigil or Calibre "modify epub" plugin - that does not always work properly with some covers). Covers may occupy half of the whole file size, and the black and white image rendering, indeed, is not really beautiful. If the file has no cover, Kobo will display a generic one, that is not ugly at all (looks like our Gallimard "Collection blanche" prestigious covers).
But I agree about a "text only" display of titles, with as many books per page as possible, since finding a book in the library is so slow and boring. I would also like an option for having this list displayed at startup, instead of the carousel which is only a commercial gimmick.
