There is already a cover view in the book list. It works in any book list, so if you view an author you can use cover view.

and allow stacking of authors similar to what you see in Series.
Maybe I don't understand what you mean by "stacking". From memory, when others have referred to it, it is showing multiple covers on top of each other. But, the series list does not do this. All it is doing is showing one cover with some shadows to suggest multiple books. That happens even if you have only one book in the series. And the cover shown isn't necessarily the first book in the series list. It looks to be the cover of first book in the series when sorted by "Recent". Which means it will probably show whichever book you are reading, or last read in a series. Honestly, I don't see the point. It doesn't add any information. I know I am looking at series, and the number of books I have in the series is displayed. What does the shadows add.

Having written that, I think your first suggestion is to add a cover of some sort to the author list. Not something I want. I don't see the point. Why show one random cover for an author on this list? To me, all it will do is take up space. Maybe if I could specify the image used, then I could get something meaningful, but, I don't really want that. If anything, I want a series list without the covers so more can be displayed on each page.
