Upgrade StorageCover view of Zotero (Web or Android app) - Zotshelf
I've made two ways to show the covers of the epubs/pdfs in a Zotero collection (or for a tag). I've missed this feature since I moved from Kindle to Zotero for reading epubs.
The first is a website where you log in to your Zotero account and choose a collection (and optionally a tag). Then the covers of the epubs/pdfs in the collection are shown. If you are on a device with Zotero installed (ios or desktop), clicking a book cover opens the epub/pdf in Zotero. It is open for everyone to try out here:

I have also created an Android app that works in the same way. Since the Zotero Android app still can't open epubs, the app links to the book in the Zotero web library which also works very well for reading epubs. Unfortunately, the app is still in closed beta but I'm looking for beta testers (I need 10) so that I can get it in open beta on Google Play. You can read more about the app on my home page and find my e-mail for joining the beta:

(Critical comments and suggestions are very welcome!)
Also, all the code is written using the LLM Claude. It should only read your library, not change anything, but all use is at your own discretion.
All the source code is available on Github.
