The cover designer said that the book cover is what the book content is suppose to look like, and I think that quote is very interesting. I never understood why people used the term "don't judge a book by its cover" because the purpose of a book cover is so that you can use it to accurately judge the contents. I think that the way the book is packaged and presented is half the battle when it comes to getting people to read it. In modern day when we go to a bookstore or library, there are so many books in every genre, that no one will stop and read the summary of every single book. A nice book cover gets the job done fast, and if done right - it will gets the job done will too.
In addition to that, when it comes to e-books vs physical books, I always prefer e-books. Although I would like to have shelves filled with books to carry around, I find that books in America are extremely pricy. I've found that books in Asia are always much cheaper than books in America, and I never quite understood why. As much as I like touching paper and enjoying the packaging, my wallet will simply not allow me to do so.
