I should probably clarify though, that what I consider a "bad" cover, is not necessarily an ugly or tasteless one, but one that looks cheap and rushes. As if it was hacked together in MS Paint in less than a minute, by someone who has no idea of basic design principles or color combinations. The cover is the first impression. If an author or publisher can't be bothered to put the slightest bit of thought or effort into making a good first impression, what else have they skimped on? Proof reading? Spell checking? Any other thing that I actually care about?
I am a lot less picky about free eBooks. If I don't like a free book, I just delete it and move on.
