I don't spend any time looking at the cover art when I am reading either, of course. Over the last 5 years or so I have accumulated a sizeable number of books in a variety of formats. Until a few months ago there was no central location/catalog of these because of the format mix and DRM. Once I got around to stripping the DRM I was able to collect them all in Calibre. Which is great.
I never bothered loading them all onto the iPhone, just a couple of dozen that I was likely to read imminently - and now that the collection is Dropboxxed I can get whatever I want if it isn't already loaded.
Putting them all on the Sony meant that I was spending some time flicking about to check that the formatting was OK and generally doing catalog type stuff on the device (which is not normal behaviour). Having got used to quick and colourful library navigation on iPhone/Mac, the Sony was not quite so nice. It isn't its core strength of course and I do prefer reading on the Sony, but like Scottjl I can feel an iPad coming my way...
