The middle one has the most emotive feel to it, but I voted as a UX designer 🤓 for the cover that was the clearest. It's the most legible at the smallest size. They're all good though.

Majeris makes a good point too about how it looks on a Kindle screen. Something I'll have to write down for when I'm finally deciding on a cover too 😇

Evoking an emotive feel is what I want! And yes, Majeris' comment on e-books was very helpful. Thanks for the feedback, Zane

The center one is the most eye-catching... in color. Yet, I strongly recommend loading all three into a Kindle to see how it looks like on monochrome e-paper. Stuff tends to look differently there.

And while on the subject, e-readers, e.g. Kindle display all kinds of iconery in the corners of the cover, like "New", read progress, etc. Something to take into account when designing title/author name placement.

That's helpful advice, thanks Majeris. I wasn't thinking of the e-readers but I agree that this is important to consider.

Love the Red one. My eyes were instantly guided to the one in the middle. ❤️
