I never did; up until now, I've always known what I would buy when I went to an e-book store.
I do. I usually try to scan the stores to see what's new on a regular basis, though for the most part, I'm scanning for authors that I know about. What ebook covers do is separate out the professionally done books from the mass of self published stuff.

I really, really, really wish that I had some program or website where I could put in a list of authors and it would notify me when they have a new ebook out. Trying to wade through Amazon's list is simply painful and mind numbing. Page after page after page of PD, porn and self published drek. I generally give up after 30 pages.
