Is this something the factory has to do? Can't you hire a programmer/designer to do something like that? I know Astak is making lots of investments right now, but I think this would be a good one to make that would give an excellent return. When I'm showing off the device, eye candy would make a difference. People really respond to the book covers, and they are turned off by seeing a list of filenames rather than a list of proper titles.
Think simple and elegant. I'm not a big Apple person in general but aesthetics is one thing they get absolutely right.
I don't know if it's a Jinke thing, but some of the companies who are rebranding the Netronix readers are doing this. Look at Kobo and Bookeen--two companies rebranding basically the same reader, and with great look and feel to the firmware, each quite different from the other and from the factory firmware. (That being said--there are things I prefer on the EZReader firmware with regard to functionality--not having to endlessly scroll through menus, for one thing.)
