Don’t you hate it whenever you purchase an book, after which somebody decides to vary the duvet picture in some unspecified time in the future down the road and there’s nothing you are able to do about it?
Generally I like the brand new covers higher, however I actually hate it after they change the duvet to make it appear to be the film or television present that was based mostly on the e book, particularly after they put actors from the film/present on the duvet.
Some books appear to have a couple of dozen totally different covers, and so they get modified on a regular basis.
They’ve been altering the covers on a few of Stephen King’s books these days, together with The Shining. I like the brand new cowl (pictured left within the picture above) loads higher than the outdated cowl (proper), however my Kindles nonetheless annoyingly present the outdated cowl on the sleep display screen after they’re turned off. They present the brand new cowl within the library, however it nonetheless exhibits the outdated cowl within the e book.
You possibly can change e book covers through the use of Calibre, however then it’s important to undergo the method of downloading your books to a pc, importing them into Calibre and utilizing a DRM-removal plugin with a purpose to modify them, after which it’s important to manually change the e book cowl earlier than sending the book to your ereader.
It might be a lot simpler for those who may simply long-press a e book out of your library after which have the choice to “Change Cowl Picture”. Then you can seek for cowl pictures on-line and select whichever one you need.
Amazon isn’t going to do something like that with Kindle books, however it might be a cool characteristic to have on book readers and studying apps on the whole. Some older books had actually distinctive covers which have since been changed with extra trendy generic-looking covers.
Publishers and authors are at all times altering covers to attempt to increase gross sales and catch folks’s consideration, however I feel as soon as you purchase an book you must have the ability to resolve which cowl you wish to see. I don’t like how they will randomly change covers anytime they need on books I purchased years in the past.
