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.

The problem is we don't know when an eBook is using a generic cover until after we've bought it and then it's too late. What I end up doing is finding a cover image and using that in place of the generic cover. I really dislike them.
