Thanks Sirtel... Guess it all depends on the individual.. I asked the same question on another forum and most people thought the cover was awesome. Probably because they're looking at it on a pc instead of tiny screen. I guess... Thats why it looks great to me. When I look at it on my iphone or tablet in its tiny state I see exactly what you are all talking about.

I'm looking at it on a laptop with a 15 inch screen. At the size the Amazon website presents the image, not only is the font choice amateurish and the contrast terrible, but the words are just plain unreadable - and this is on the main book page, not even on the thumbnails by which books are typically presented for discovery.
There are many many online guides to cover design for ebooks, should you go ahead with choosing to do it yourself.
