As for the UI, if you have the new UI, go to the library tab, tap the three line icon that is under the three dot icon in the top right, and then you can change how titles are sorted and displayed.

Edit: Forgot to say, but there is no way to disable showing covers, but what is so horrible about them?
The worst thing about the new UI in my opinion is that even if you put a book into a collection, it still shows in the list. When I finish a book, I put it into a collection for the current year, and that used to cause it to be removed from the list. Now, however, that doesn't happen. I could, in theory, only show unread books in my list, and that would help...until I want to re-read a book.

I also don't really like not being able to turn off the covers. To me, they're useless when looking at the list view, because the images are too small. I never use grid view, because it's easier for me to read the title and author that way. I'm the person that always removed the dust covers from hardcover books because they got in the way, and I never really cared about the picture on the outside--the story on the inside is what matters to me. Besides, I'd rather create my own picture of what the story is about than look at someone else's interpretation.
