Speaking for myself, when I had piles (or shelves) of TBR books and was ready to start a new book, I'd wander over to the stack/bookshelves and scan for something to catch my eye.
Since the ebook reader will only display 10 titles at a time in list view (not sure how many in thumbnail view), I don't tend to just "browse" like I did. And the monotone grayscale cover in list view don't catch my eye like the pretty covers lined up on my bookshelves.
I tend to read more of one genre over another most of the time, even then, but a pretty or interesting cover could tempt me away from my comfort zones more easily when I was scanning physical books I own rather than what I've already loaded onto the reader.
