Cover Thumbnails on Recommendations

Is it possible to add cover thumbnails for all pages under Home > Recommendations? Covers inform and speed up my book choices.

Thanks!

Either you just switch from titles to cover above the list, or you can set in the settings to cover view.

How can this be done on the pages under the “Recommendations” tab (located next to “Charts & Graphs”)? I should have specified that’s what I meant, not the Dashboard, sorry... Thanks!

>3 WurstOfLoathing: Ah, those are indeed without a cover view, but they are in fact the same recs as the dashboard 'Top Automatic Recommendations' and 'Recent Member Recommendations'

Yes, but conveniently all on one page, and with the “No thanks!” and recommendations rating features readily at hand, unlike the Dashboard.

Do work previews pop up on that page? That's not the same as seeing all the covers on the page, but it would at least let you see the covers without leaving the page, for now.

>6 aspirit: (I'm asking because the previews rarely pop up on my device, even where they're frequently used. I don't mind that they don't; only, I can't check the answer for myself at the moment.)

They don’t seem to work, on MacOS or iOS. Also, preview pop-ups are not viable on devices that don’t support hover.

Please don't make everything have covers showing.

The recommendation is for a title: books often come in numerous editions with different covers! The top recommendation on my page has 21 member-uploaded covers plus some more from Amazon.

There can be a toggle for them, like on the recommendation widgets on the Dashboard.
