So the art is definitely not something that draws me in, and I find them quite easy to ignore, actually.
Most times I don't even give the cover art a thought until AFTER I've downloaded a book. So while I can appreciate the fact that many people want their experience to be a universal truth when it come to packaging, it's simply not true of all readers.
Coverart certainly had an effect on me when browsing stacks of physical, front-facing books at a B&M store, but ebooks have released me from worrying about that nonsense.

I would bet that we have many similar covers in our collections. Pretty much plain with just the title and author on the spine.
