Current Bugs & Limitations

• ⚠️ The resulting image is NOT necessarily bookwalker's highest quality cover scan ⚠️ It normally is, at least for more recently uploaded works. I believe the scan is the original version for that seriese. If a higher quality scan is added latter, we wouldn't know. Alternatively, this may be the result of a past change in how bookwalker works.

• Need to add stable sort for chrome. Otherwise works/looks alright, but is placed at bottom of page, should integrate it into MD's cover display section. And create an overlay for use on bookwalker site.

• Intended for wide displays. May induce horizontal scrolling on mobile. (May not work at all on mobile)

• Automated cover match checks are WIP. Will work only in userscript version due to restrictive CORS settings. Currently disabled since primitive downsizing function is slow and Pica library isn't working.
