My home screen has Thumbnails. My main way of selection is on the 'My Books' Screen (stock Kobo).

The only full screen cover is the Sleep Screen and by that time, not only have I CHOSEN the book, but am reading it.

I think Hitch is spot on with 'click bait'.
First you need the person to LOOK at the book, open the cover (Old school merchant here) . Why do you think Amazon has 'Look inside' . That is what sells the work, not the cover. The cover GOT YOUR ATTENTION.

I seem to be the outlier on large Author names. I do LOOK an my faves, but I don't go browsing for a Don Browles book. I Browse for a book that grabs my eye (the right way What were they thinking ).

So there are 2 ways to catch an EYE: 1) is the graphical look. 2) A catchy Title
