I think another reason the process was slow for me is because most of my book covers are between 200-300 KB each. I think most people have their book covers under 100 KB each. Mine are large because I try to use high res covers up to 2100 pixels on the long side and I don't like to compress covers too much. Probably 95% of people are not as picky about covers as I am (some don't even bother with any covers!), so they might not run into the processing slowdown that occurred for me.

The biggest problem we face is that covers can be square or even landscape. Covers must be equally spaced across the shelf ... We have considered allowing display of square covers, ignoring aspect ratio. Personally I hate that, but it seems that some people prefer to deform the cover so that it is as big as possible.

I didn't think of that. I have a few books with square covers on my Nook. I took a look at them in the shelf view and you are right. They take up some of that space that the portrait covers don't. And I also prefer not to distort covers. So I think the configuration you have now is the best one.
Looking forward to the first official version 3 release.
