In a print book: first impressions (regardless of their accuracy) are the most lasting and the first impression you get of a book is its cover.

In an ebook: it shows attention to detail (and comes back to first impressions). If the creator/compiler/converter cared enough to add a proper/correct cover, then they're more likely to have cared enough to proofread and correct scanning errors.

I've come across too many cases personally where a MSWord-style cover and a lazy publisher OCRing a scanned print have gone hand in hand.
