I was browsing through some ebooks about a week ago, looking for something to read: and I came across these.

Not to make too fine a point of being a critic -- but these renders are fairly pedestrian. I haven't bought the ebooks, so I don't know whether the stories themselves make for interesting reading -- but perhaps instead there will be a mad dash to find a new career in rendering ebook covers........then again: it's possible that the authors themselves rendered their own book covers. If so, then they didn't have to pay an artist to do it for them.
Renders like these could be slapped together with a few minutes of effort.
Surely someone could come up with a great V4 ebook cover -- better than these. Perhaps the ebook would sell a few more copies if an aspiring artist produced a great ebook cover for an aspiring writer. And perhaps the cover artist could get rich......right along with the ebook author. Become famous with V4.
Who knows......? It might even be possible to pick up an extra $25 or so doing work like this.
