Maybe the publishers don't think it is worth the time and cost to put covers in, if they think the majority of readers don't care. Or, they could just be lazy.

Eventually (not today, but eventually) I'll have a touchscreen monitor dedicated to my ebook library. It'll display the covers, with 'page' tabs I can touch to browse my library and, by touching a cover I can transfer that (wirelessly) to my reader. (Actually the touch will probably bring up a shortcut menu which will have, as one option, transfer to my reader.)
I actually have most of the design done-but implementing it will take some time-like maybe a few years. But it's a nice retirement project.
So there's a (future) reason for nice covers.
