When I then went to the library (small cover view), I noticed the book covers 'flickering' as if they were being refreshed. And indeed they were! It appears that the problem has rectified itself. All is well...

Not sure why. I noticed the 'small covers problem' 2-3 days ago (or longer), but assumed it had always been there and that I'd simply missed it. I have, during that time, removed the Kobo app from memory (done a reload), and I'm almost always on wifi. I also do a recharge almost every day. So I don't know why it decided just now to do a refresh of the covers. Feels like when you go to the doctor's office and you start feeling better while in the waiting room Anyway, I'll let you know if it happens again and under what circumstances. Thanks.
I know we cache the cover images, perhaps what you were seeing was a refresh of the cache, ie; the currently cached image was removed and a new copy was downloaded.

The blue screen showing up indicates the app was launching from a cold start, rather than it being from a suspended state. I wonder if the weird image issue was hanging around because the app had not been fully quit, and the occasional odd issue can be fixed by fully quitting the app and relaunching it.

I was running a few tests with a library of 400 books, trying to reproduce the cover image issue, but have not seen it as yet.
