The AI generated covers are an absolute eyesore. I could not find a setting to hide them. I would prefer plain text covers on the ebooks over being forced to look at AI-generated trash.

I never thought I could read in my native language here. Since it isn't a strong language, I find it hard to find books on it but this app had changed that. Now I can translate other languages into Evegbe(Ewe) Cool.
