I agree, 100%, that covers, ABSO-lutely, sell books. That's my entire point; they are akin to movie posters in this day and age. It's not like paper, where you would take a lovely hardcover down off the shelves, caress it, smell it, and all that, and of course, as My One Twoo Wuv Ducky says, the whole spine issue has gone awonk in the ebook day.
All I was saying on the other is, the "gotta get the cover exactly perfect" thing--and gods know, I see this more times per week than I want to discuss--is just...obsessing about something that should be done, done correctly, of course--but not obsessed over. Not with "filling the screen" perfectly and all that, particularly given that all the screens out there are ALL different aspect ratios. Given that it CANNOT be done, trying to do it is...what's that quote again about insanity? :-D
