On hardcover books I don't read with the cover - it is the first thing that gets tossed back on the shelf and reading is done then without the cover.
But I agree, the ereader should have on option to look at the cover in larger size BEFORE opening the book.

When I pick up a pBook, I see the cover. When I start an eBook, I want to see the cover. I know if I let the H2O go to sleep, I'll also see the cover when I go to wake it up or close the cover Also, when I see the book on the home screen, I want to see the cover. I cannot stand the generic cover a lot of eBook use.
These generic covers are one of the reason I think the price for eBooks needs to drop. Why are we paying the same or more for an eBook when we don't always get the same content? Yes, the cover counts as content and a generic cover doesn't count for anything.
