Request: Update screenshots #396

Hi. Thank you for a great app!

I would just like to ask you kindly to please update your screenshots here on GH and Flathub to some without the Harry Potter books in them. Rowling has been spending all her time, and a lot of money, for many years now, spreading hate and propping up right wing extremists.

If you don't know what this is about I would highly recommend watching this video or this video on the topic.

Everyone is allowed to enjoy any media they like, of course! This is not about that. But if anyone knows about this, which is fairly common knowledge by now, and they see your screenshots, they may take that as a message that for example trans people are not welcome here – which would unnecessarily hurt and push people away.

I think it would be really awesome if you made some new screenshots with only CC licensed or Public Domain books, like the good looking books from Standard Ebooks, or the earlier works by Cory Doctorow or Lawrence Lessig, for example.

Again I want to thank you for your work on this great app, and for listening!

All the best!

Hey...many thanks for raising this issue. My son was into Harry Potter when I was developing Bookworm and hence those cover screenshots...I will update the screen shots from what you have recommended when I have upgraded bookworm to GTK4. Will keep this issue open to remind me of the cover screen shot issue
