I can't think of any reason not to rip out the cover and pocket the $130.

That's
the difference for the deliverable size? So, that's what Amazon is quoting you, on the 2nd page of the upload at the Bookshelf? A 1mb difference? OR, is this the
total size of the file? Is that 1mb the calculated incremental delivery size difference?

Yes, of course, if it actually makes a difference in the delivery fee, it is worth considering. We shan't, of course; our clients want MOBIs delivered to them with a cover (so that they can in turn send out review copies, copies to loved ones, yadda...)
