I want a cover to put me in a mood. Every time I glance at the cover, I should remember what the world of that book feels like.

I hear what you're saying about mood. I seem to have a better chance of that happening with UK versions of popular books. I'm not a Brit, but for some reason when I see UK versions of novels in airport bookshops, I tend to prefer that version over the American ones. I can't put my finger exactly on what's different about the aesthetic sensibilities.
Though it's irrelevant to ebooks, the tactile feel of a cover is also important to me. I've not bought books at times because they didn't feel nice to the touch. There's one kind of material used in trade paperbacks that makes me feel like I'm scratching my fingernails against a blackboard.
