Personally I think covering that the content comes in isn't important, I have always found that when I'm reading I can disconnect from everything else around me and get totally 'in' to the book I'm reading. Therefore, the picture on the cover, whether it's paperback/hardback (altho I used to prefer paperback's cos they're easier to hold in one hand) or ebook, is not important. I find the fact that I can take out one ebook reader no matter where I am in a book extremely convenient, that way, if I finish one book, I can just scroll to the next book without having to worry whether I remembered to put it in my handbag!

Spoken like a true Trek lover!
