If it is a book I'm not planning to read and know nothing about, the cover does matter. If the cover makes me think the book could be a book I may not like or it's just an ugly cover (like a lot of self-published books on Amazon) then I'll pass it by.

If I was looking at that cover, I would wonder if it's about a leak at a nuclear reactor.

I see one cover with (apparently) a half-naked man swimming next to a half-naked woman.

Correction: Both are totally naked.
Those covers are great. I really miss painted covers.
