Many eBook exclusive covers
are… well… simple, plain,
some may say cheesy.
I’m told the reason for this
is that the covers are displayed
rather small in eBook stores
(often 89px × 144px or smaller).
A complicated cover
with a lot of detail
shows poorly.
The issue is…
the customer,
after purchasing the eBook,
sees as large a cover
as she wishes.
(I look at mine monitor sized)
When blown up large,
covers look plain.
Plain = Poor Quality for many readers.
The solution?
Two covers.
One complex with detail.
The other with background noise removed.
As many covers are designed
using layers of images,
this is less complex than it sounds.
Yet no one offers it.
