It's a shame that 90-95% of the eBooks I get don't have "real" covers. And of those, about 25% don't have usable covers at all. Some have "Praise for" pages as the first page. Penguin is the flat-out worst, I've got three books that just have a giant Penguin logo as the cover, and it's not until like the 8th page that you see title and author together. This time last year I was willing to let that crap slide, but... really? Still? Really?

But yes, kudos to Kobo for their efforts in the field. They're head and shoulders above their competitors.
