Nice collection guys. I think it could be better if you add real covers.

@oleg_avrah thank you. Will be nice to hear why. For example a popular book has 2-5 different covers for kindle book, softcover, hardcover etc. We skipped real covers to let people choose by titles and authors.

@andygorezkyi Here's my 2c: I think that the cover of a book is interwoven with the book itself. Part of it is a visual thing, where we've just come to expect it. It will make your content feel more connected to what it represents. That's why even on Kindle or iBooks, where showing a book cover is skeuomorphic, people seek it out. The other part is recall--w… See more

@andygorezkyi @oleg_avrah I agree -- it's VERY difficult to process a giant wall of colored boxes -- it's not how our minds work.

With colored boxes only, it's not a resource I would use - it's easier to just scan and sort on Am… See more

@andygorezkyi @paulhorne @oleg_avrah Yeah, I'm definitely for covers! They've painstakingly thought out and designed for the books for a reason. And more often than not, in conjunction with the title, the imagery really help tell you what the book is about.

@oleg_avrah, @andygorezkyi, agree, cover art attracts more than text or color, at worst case you will know what was the budget for the book by looking at cover

@andygorezkyi @oleg_avrah I like the current look it's clean and simple. Perhaps a rollover feature with the book cover revealed underneath could be an option though? I also feel there is a desire for me to want to click the titles I'm interested in, half-expecting a link to a product page, however, nothing happens at the moment. Are you expecting to expan… See more
