The cover is equally part of the book alchemy. A bad cover, a bad experience. Get rid of the cover on a classic paper book and you don't want to read it anymore. It acts as a roof under which the reader, protected, is in another world. The world of the story.
It is almost incomprehensible by electronic manufacturers.
