Thanks! Apparently the cover can be important if you want to sell an e-book through Amazon. Seeing that an e-book can be read in "vertical" or "horizontal" mode on a portable e-reader, would a white page (or coloured page with similar background colour) containing independent graphical and textual elements -- rather than a solid image with textual elements superimposed -- not be best? Theoretically, it should looking fitting on both a vertical and a horizontal screen presentation of the cover.
