That's why I didn't think my cover was going to suffer. It actually looks very good when printed. However, I do sometimes expect to see a shark swim by in all that bluishness.

It's also in the social and spiritual psychology vein, so even for that market, it's probably too aggressive with it's butterflies and "stuff".

And then, there's my hope that it'll become like Strunk's book: people just buy it because they know what to expect inside. We can dream...
I had a look at your cover on my Kobo Libra 2 and it does look better in grayscale then it does in color.
