Not for me, for two reasons.

1) I use CC one handed most of the time, and I can reach the cover with my thumb, but I can't reach the "Read" button.

2) Because hitting the cover works in the book list view, my brain has been trained to hit the cover when I want to open a book. My method for opening a book from the detail screen is:

a) Tap on the cover
b) Curse
c) Tap on the read button while thinking about how old I am getting.

If tapping on the cover worked, I could skip steps B and C and possibly cut down on my medications.

Note I'm not suggested a removal of the "read" button, just for the cover to work the same way as it does on the other screen.
