Opinion Needed On EBook Cover!

hey guys,
I am really excited, the designer of my ebooks cover got back to me about a minute ago and sent me through a sample of how it is looking!

I would love to know your opinions!

Ebook Cover Sample (click on the little picture to enlarge)

Thanks
Tom

thanks.... anything you would change?

I am looking for a design that I can use for a series of ebooks, as this will not be my only one.

I think it would work cause all i would need to do is change the text and maybe the picture and I have a new cover.

Anyone else?

It looks good. Not overwhelming but still bright and straightforward. I wonder if you would change the colors of the other books in the series, would the color on the dollar sign change too?

Tom,

I think it is a bit cheesy. I would try to tone it down a bit. I think ebooks are just like any book. I don't go looking for the book with the biggest and brightest fonts or the one with the biggest dollar sign on it. Think of it like this. If you saw a book that had neon green reflective fonts and a huge dollar signs on it would you buy it, or would you look at it and think well looks like another scam to me.

I don't mean to be critical about your book because I don't think you are scamming people, I just think the cover is a bit over the top.

Adam

How can you distinguish your eBook from others out there? I think many people are wary something like that, so what about breaking the mold and going for a more distinguished look. That's exactly what we did with our website, and you've seen that we've had great response. Just an idea.

Tom,

I think it works. I think the design is inviting and not intimidating. It is for beginners hence you have to make it that way. People like to pick up books that don't intimidate them and also a quick read. It's not dumbing the concept but making it a mass success.

I like it. Doesn't seem like a scam at all, if I didn't know how to blog I'd be interested although I wouldnt pay a price over $5 for it. That's just my opinion.

I like it too. It's original above all things I noticed. I don't think I ever saw a cover like that before. That's good, originality always wins. Goodluck Tom!

Tom:

I like it. The only thing that makes me hesitate is the dollar sign on the computer screen. I am not sure that is needed or maybe it can be toned down a bit. It is a minor detail. Overall I like it.
