Global reloadding of covers dos not deliver resutls

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Just tried the "More->Reload Covers" option.

It actually nuked quite a few with some placeholder where I previously had
a reasonable cover.

When I try to update a book cover explicitly, I do get an appropriate cover.

Not sure what I can do about that. It uses the network to try to replace 
*every* 
cover image, it doesn't just replace the ones that are generated or missing. As 
to 
how effective it is, that seems to depend more on how reliable the network is 
at the 
time it's run. 

I have 400 books in my db now and it works for me. I've also tested it on 4 
different 
devices, and have other users report good results. I have seen it be flaky when 
the 
network is flaky though. 

I'll look into it more to see if I can make it any smarter.

This works much more reliably now. I have tested it with 400+ books and it 
works well, so long as there is a network connection (and the image providers 
hold up).  Changes are that the screen will not sleep during the operation now 
(sleeping was messing it up), and screen will not rotate based on sensor (that 
messes it up too). 

Screen still rotate and causes issues if keyboard is opened on devices with 
keyboards, but it just stops the task mid stream (not really an error), and 
it's unlikely that people will do that will the task is running and telling 
them each book it's updating.
