Amazon's Kindle app is an even bigger offender in this category. It shows your library as a 4 x 4 grid of tiny cover thumbnail on your phone, so there is no hope whatsoever of reading a title. So you click one, and what does it do? It downloads the whole book then drops you in at whatever page you last read, then hides the book title and author. Unless you can recognize the cover photo (which changes to match the latest edition), there is really no way to know what you're going to get except to guess.

When browsing games on the Xbox it’s the same way — just a grid of cover art in smallish tiles. No text. Finding what I want can be very difficult if the text isn’t clearly visible in the cover art or if it’s not art I’m very familiar with. Even the fact that it’s sorted A-Z doesn’t help because it often sorts titles starting with “The” under “T”. Sigh. UI designers: just give me a list view option. Please.
