I'm not against this idea but this workflow is easily accomplished via use of the tags and custom columns. I'll let others fill in the process details.

This might be a nice feature, you can put in an
enhancement request. Personally I think given limited time of the developer and the fact that calibre is mainly a book management program that efforts toward this feature would be way down the priority list. Of course if you develop the code it could go way up on the list.

Since there is no standard for notes between devices it is amazing that there is any ability to get the annotations. If I recall correctly one of the users submitted code for it.

There has been an enhancement request
for this listed in the tracker for almost a year. You can weigh in on the
discussion here. Someone actually has
scripts to have calibre do this auto-discovery.

Kovid has said that a
grid of book covers is on his todo list.

Interesting ideas. The first step toward any of the ideas is to
open an enhancement ticket. The worst that can happen is it doesn't get worked on.
