I buy books based on the cover too. I absolutely LOATHE movie cover versions, and am thankful that they never did that with the Harry Potter books. They just look tacky, out of place, and they don't age well on a shelf. I do the same thing with music albums to an extent.
The cover is what dictates how your work will be advertised. You can write beautiful poetry, but if the people advertising your work don't have anything to work with in terms of photographs, illustrations, or concepts, for getting the word out there, it's going to be very difficult.
