I bet the official answer is some waffle about publisher's rights ( all rights reserved, including but not limited to the right to deprive you of the printed book cover image )

In the case of Bold as Love and its sequels, it's because the original covers have dark rock magic in them which makes you want to spend more money on Gwyneth Jones's books, but this magic only works in physical form. (Or perhaps it's simply because her writing is that good, but never rule out the first possibility!)
