Who are you buying from? I buy from B&N and was very angry at Big 6 for this, but I noticed when I uploaded *my* book that B&N stripped that cover out. (It wasn't stripped from other stores, so they're definitely doing their own conversion.)

I'm wondering if it's a storage space saving issue, but it's annoying. I always put the covers back in Calibre.

I do love book covers, and I too have noticed that it's hard to flip back to admire whilst reading the eBook. But I think "death" is a bit premature to call since "pretty book cover" is consistently shown to be a factor in whether or not people even buy the book.
