Hi fellow calibre users,
I have been hunting around for a way to export some of the covers in the Calibre managed books into a folder/ album that I can then display on my "book shelf"
When people come around now, they only see books we read 5-10 years ago, ie. When we had "real" books.

I would love to display our e-book covers in a scrolling album like a e-photo frame or an old tablet I have (a use for old devices).

Is there a quick and easy way to do this? Maybe a plugin I missed? Or even a core function.
If not? Is there demand for this? I might develop something if so, I might anyway, but helpful to know if this would help anyone else (eg. I could do some down and dirty code, or as a proper plugin if demand)

Let me know your thoughts.
