Worse! It just has the title and author, all caps in a plain serif font, and then a large rendering of the Ballantine logo, then the logo itself. They've set it to look like "a" book cover, but it's not the cover of the book. It's actually not unlike the covers the Cybook creates by default when there is no cover art. The cover art for all the books has been stunning, so I'm really disappointed it wasn't included. Even though the Cybook is B&W, I have my PC registered as a Mobipocket device so I could look at it in glorious full color if I wanted to.
I'm really enjoying the book, though...not much in the way of plot so far, but lots and lots of the dragons interacting and they are as delightful as ever. I do love them as characters. They are so well incorporated into the story, I didn't feel like the books were "alternate history" until, as I said above, Nelson started talking about Trafalgar. Now THAT was freaky.

I read the Big Reunion Scene on the train this morning and started crying like a big sap.
