One drawback of buying e-books compared with p-books is that it is difficult knowing how much volume you are getting. In the bookstore you can pick up the book, see the pages, feel the heft.
There are no visual clues to that in the e-bookstore.

So a simple question; Would it influence your purchasing decision if the picture of the cover (or similar visual clue) was proportionally related to the amount of words in a book?
