I use covers as one clue when looking at a book by an unfamiliar author (I don't pay much attention to the cover if I'm already familiar with the author) but once I've acquired the book I don't really care what the cover looks like in a tiny thumbnail on my black-and-white 6-inch e-ink ereader.
I guess someone who reads on a larger device, especially if it's in color, might care more? Or maybe someone who sets their ereader to show the book cover in sleep mode (I don't do this) enjoys looking at a nice cover when their reader is sitting on the coffee table?
