you don't have to see the covers in order to download your chosen author/ series/ titles- so have a configurable text based low bandwidth option ?
(esp as some readers will extract a cover from the epub to display on the reader " shelves", and will not use the separate cover image from calibre anyway.)
When you create a library for a first time, there is a tick box option to not download book covers.
If you accidentially ticked the box to download all covers for a large library, you are still able to cancel that (if it is still ongoing) via opening library infor and there should be a cancel sync button available.

After that you can download book cover individually via "Redownload cover" option from book view page.

Cover is optional, all the functionalities with book still work without cover.

About configurable text based for low bandwidth option, it is something that we will definitely consider, thank you for the suggestion
