If what you're talking about is a repackaged public domain edition, or a self published indie work, perhaps. If what you're talking about is a trade book from a major publisher, not so. (All of my Baen editions include a cover, for example)
I've seen folks elsewhere advocating
dropping the cover art to save money and price the ebook cheaper. Aside from the fact that I know a number of the artists who get commissioned to produce the cover art and are trying to make a living, covers are
features for me. An ebook that dropped them to save costs would simply be
worth less to me, and I might not buy it at all.
