I think you may be the exception, Harry. I find that the first thing I do is look at the cover. A very amateurish cover makes me wonder what other corners the author has cut. My experience has been that the less professional looking the cover the greater number of grammar and spelling errors to be found. Not always true, but true often enough.

Perhaps the Kindle doesn't display the cover, I don't know, not owning one, but my Nook and my Sonys do display the cover.

I'm curious, Harry. If you never look at the cover images when shopping for an ebook, how do you make the decision to read the blurb or the sample of an ebook?
