Yes, I know what you mean. It's very easy to plop a bunch of clipart with some text or drop four photos and call it a cover. But it doesn't necessarily look like a cohesive work of art. I didn't do the cover for Under Witch Aura. I'm not skilled enough to have combined those photos. It's actually four photos done by Valentino Sani. He took 3 of the 4 himself. He also did both of the original text positioning and effects (And that box everyone hates? That was my idea.)
I saw another thriller go to free yesterday:
http://www.amazon.com/Silas-A-Supern...3959037&sr=8-3
I *think* he went exclusive with it and therefor was able to set it to free and I *assume* it has no DRM and can be converted. I don't know him and haven't read it, but it was free and I've heard good things so I picked up my free copy. FWIW.
