Don’t spend hundreds of dollars for an ebook cover; don’t upload your ebook to Kindle without a cover. Both are good advice. So you should have a cover, but not spend much money to get it?
That’s right.
Professionally-designed covers sell books in bookstores, but on its web site Amazon shrinks covers to thumbnail images. This reduction in size obscures or even eliminates the impact of an expensive cover design. Online shoppers can’t see the art, the subtle color differentiation, or the captivating details. The money spent on design seeps away.
On the other hand, a book without a cover is peculiar. It confuses readers. Is it a free book? Is the author an amateur? Coverless books look unprofessional. They shoo readers away.
A professionally designed (read, expensive) cover avoids readers’ confusion and an amateurish appearance, yet it costs money and, when compared to other covers online, is of dubious effectiveness in persuading a reader to buy.
