Thanks Dazrin. That is a great insight. My books do go across genres. Right now the consistency I'm looking for is basic. Things like: title on the top, name on the bottom. Same font for titles. Same font for my name. And having the covers have a fair amount of open space between the title and name.

Neither color will probably be visible in e-ink and the blue doesn't really stand out but the green bothers me when viewing it in color. I think that I don't like the change of palettes between the bright red cover and then the pastel text.

Thanks. I agree that the green has to go (in my name). I'm thinking light blue there. I suppose I don't need to be too concerned about how the title looks in ereaders though, right? I mean, in a perfect world the cover would look great in color and in an ereader, but once it's in the ereader, well, they can remember what the cover looked like. (Just kidding.)
