 * Wasted my time because of a simple lack of creativity from the wpbooks gallery.
   How can you not include the cover? And to have a paywall and a donate button 
   is a bit greedy.

 * Thank you for your feedback. I’d like to clarify a few points for anyone reading:
 * Book covers are fully supported in the free version of Books Gallery — they are
   displayed prominently in both grid and list layouts as shown in our screenshots.
   If you experienced a specific issue with cover images not displaying, our support
   team is always available at wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-books-gallery/
 * Regarding the donate link — this is a standard optional feature on WordPress.
   org listings used by thousands of plugin developers. It has no impact whatsoever
   on plugin functionality and is completely separate from our Pro plans.
 * We’d welcome the opportunity to help if you’d like to share what specific issue
   you encountered. Books Gallery has 85 five-star reviews from real users who actively
   use it daily — including libraries managing 2,600+ books and affiliate marketers
   building Amazon book stores.
