Hi Sharon

This is not hard to figure out. At Amazon.com they show
you a picture of the cover of the book you are thinking
about buying.

Below the book cover, you can click on to either "looking
inside this book" or "see more product details". There
they show you the front book cover, back book cover, and
pages that are in the book.

I'm sure they don't need a 3-D graphic to lure you into
buying their books, just the book cove is all they need.

On the other hand people that sale e-books NEED to fool
you with an image of a 3-D graphic. It's nothing more then
a gimmick to manipulate you mind, luring you with bait (3-D)
graphic to buy their book.

If you noticed NO e-book publisher has come out and
explained to us WHY THEY do it.

You did bring up a good point about, there are no covers
on e-books . . . Makes you wonder about why they use
3-D graphic . . ?????????
