eBook Covers!!!!

[Nae Bliss]

AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The eBook covers should seriously be published as the official cover art and printed for the books!

They are sooooooo much cooler and more accurate than the cover art now.

I'm not sure if anyone else agrees with me but I'm just stating my opinion.

See for yourself-

If you do agree let me know.

I agree 100%.

But it seems Tor is only doing these ebook covers for Kindle ebooks.

 

I got TGS from Barnes and Noble on my nook, and it had NO cover. I asked their staff, and was told that in some cases such as this, that the publisher did not own the digital/electronic publishing rights to the cover art from the printed book. So, NO cover at all.

 

I would be happy with either version! I just want some Cover, whether it is Darryl K. Sweet or another artist!

I think Tor needs to realign their ebook releases for all of the WoT ebooks with B&N and Borders. Not everyone wants a kindle.

Hit or miss....

 

tEotW: Horrible. As bad as LoC's cover in the romance novel look. Looks like the book should be called Tempest of the Heart or something

 

TGH: The actual art is alright, and this one is even better cause it gives you an even more intense view of essentially the same scene.

 

TDR: The paperback is much better. I can appreciate lowkey, but for a novel that pretty much wrapped up the original trilogy, the paperback captures the cumminating moment well.

 

TSR: Both are good. I guess the E-book is good for Mat fans since that's as cool a coverart as we've seen for a character. If they want my vote they should have shown the small Two Rivers forces aligned against a huge Trollic army.

 

tFoH: Better, especially for fans. The original coverart is pretty forgetable. For fans, this coverart is obviously one that fits the book.

 

LoC: Very cool, though it would have taken much to beat the old art....

 

aCoS: Both are meh....am I missing something. I just reread the book and I don't even know what that new art is referring to in the novel?

 

tPoD: The original was pretty good, but that one is even better. Decent event in the book, but it's very nicely portrayed.

 

WH: Hard to say. I like Perrin & co. on the old cover, but it does make much more sense to give Perrin the cover of 10 and Rand the cover of 9. If they had made it a little more Cleansing-centric I think it would have been a better Rand cover.

 

CoT: Ah, very nice. Now that's how ya do a lowkey coverart. Definitely better then the original.

 

KoD: The old art was like TFoH, LoC, or aCoS. Very meh, and almost anything would be better. And that's definitely better.

 

Just my 2 cents.

aCoS new art is when Lan jumped in the river after Nynaeve when the boat was hit with balefire.

Um, that is the Cleansing.

Rand at Alcair Dal, when he reveals the truth and makes it rain in the Waste. Or the insane, mountain-leveling Asmodean-brawl in Rhuidean. Or the Columns of Ancestral Memory. You know: something from the main plot-line in the novel. Hell, Rand and Mat as they return with the dawn, if you want something Mat-related. Anyway, while I like this Mat cover overall, something bugs me about his face and build. I know he's wiry and all, but he seems too much like the Scarecrow out of his supervillain costume or something here. Plus, I'd have much rather gotten the scene of him hanging lifeless from Avendesora. Or confronting the Eelfinn. I wanna see one of those guys, damn it!

 

And no: the Darrel K. Sweet cover for tSR is NOT good. It's one of, if not the worst, just on the grounds of the weird-ass eighties sweatband on pseudo-Mat alone.

I love my UK paper-back covers (damn hard-backs for TGS and ToM :(!).. but these ebook ones are superior. I want them.
