What are you reading? Why you chose this book?
I can ask you this question because I want to know, did you pick a book by the cover.
If you want to watch a movie, you wish to know who are actors and what they look like. You wish to know the content and the plot.
The same is with a book, to pick a book from Kindle or from the library, you wish to see the book.
When the author wishes to sell the book, he must pay attention to the cover.
What do you need to avoid?
Generic cover from Kindle. Templates that everyone uses because you will get lost in the crowd.
Amateur cover. It means, covers with errors, gloomy, you can't see the title well and it looks like a kid draw it.
Repeating. That cover looks familiar like something you saw before? Probably you did.
If you pick a book by the cover, you are not a shallow person. Nice cover can promise, at least the author took the effort to his book to attract readers.
What I don't like?
Covers without photos, just with letters.
Confusing covers, you expect for example horror, and the story is drama.
Too small letters. Do I need a binocular to see what is written?
A good cover is not a guarantee of a good book. But it intrigues readers. Nowadays, the picture is important because people have no time to read explanations and descriptions. You are visually attracted.
If you see a badly created cover, you will think the story is not well written. You will think about amateurism and that is not worth buying the book.
