I'm not a publisher, but then again, I believe a few of my father's childhood books may start becoming public domain in a few years, so who knows? I'm planning to digitize them. Kind of a family project, actually.
Would be a shame having searched for the very amusing and rare dust jackets, scanned and cleaned them up only for people not to see the artwork.

You know, they DO see the artwork--they see it on the website, where quite frankly, they can see more of it than they can on a real device. Also, if anyone is interested, they can use the "go to" menu, ie.,"Go to cover." OR, they can page back.
I'm not trying to be argumentative. I'm just saying, it's not as though the covers are excised.
Also, with regard to the BYG: that is ALSO in response to overwhelming author/publisher demand. They asked and asked and cobbled together links and yadda, to get people to leave reviews for their books. Hence, the BYG (Before you Go) page.
I suspect that it's programmed by Amazon to come after the last page of the body of the book--again, remember, folks, they don't just decide to do this stuff. They analyze reader behavior. Obviously, back-matter gets just as little love as does front! :-) Otherwise, if everyone read to the last (really last) page, that's where they would have put it.
