the cover display is simply a gimmick. works great for ebooks, but i have many white papers and technical documents that don't have covers. so what do i see? just a very small scale title page, impossible to read. cover display is pretty, but useless. try to navigate a large library (i have over 550 ebooks loaded), endless scrolling. list view is far more manageable.
i agree though, apple doesn't have to be first, and doesn't even have to be the best. else they'll kill their market of 3rd party apps. "good enough" will meet most user's needs, and allow room for 3rd party apps to distinguish themselves with additional features.
