Why the Cover Decides (Almost) Everything
It's not a slogan: it's what the data says about reader behavior.
Real Case: Tricia O'Malley
The bestselling author tested five cover versions with BookBub Ads. The click-through rate jumped +53% and downloads of the first volume grew +40% in a few weeks.
"The plot hadn't changed a single word. Only what readers saw first had changed."
Source: BookBub InsightsThe cover is the first (and often only) contact with the reader. Test it before publishing.
Every Day, 3,000 New Books Are Published on Amazon

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about CoverTest Pro
How can I test my book cover before publishing on Amazon?
With CoverTest Pro you install a free Chrome extension (30 seconds), upload your covers with drag & drop, open Amazon and click "Simulate". Your cover appears among real bestsellers so you can see exactly how it looks in context — before you publish.
Does book cover design really affect sales?
Yes — studies show 57% of readers buy a book based on the cover alone (ThriftBooks/OnePoll 2023), and 80% are attracted first by the cover (Pandamonium Publishing). A/B testing your cover before publishing lets you pick the design that drives the most clicks.
Is it safe to test book covers with a Chrome extension?
100% safe. CoverTest Pro stores everything locally in your browser. No servers, no cloud, no upload of your covers. Your images never leave your computer. We collect zero data about your projects or tests.
Can I test book covers on international Amazon marketplaces?
Yes. CoverTest Pro works on 22 Amazon marketplaces worldwide: Amazon.com, .co.uk, .de, .fr, .it, .es, .ca, .com.mx, .com.br, .nl, .se, .pl, .com.be, .com.tr, .ae, .sa, .eg, .in, .co.jp, .sg, .com.au and .cn. If Amazon sells books in a country, you can test your cover there.
How do I preview my book cover on mobile before publishing?
CoverTest Pro includes an Amazon App Simulator that emulates iPhone and Android devices. You see exactly how your cover appears miniaturized on readers' phones — where 70% of book purchases happen.
What are the limits of the free and Premium plans?
The free plan lets you create 1 project with up to 5 cover uploads and 5 simulations per day (then 1/day). The Premium Lifetime plan ($29.99 one-time) removes all limits: unlimited projects, covers, simulations, and up to 10 competitor comparisons side by side.
What is book cover color analysis and why does it matter?
CoverTest Pro uses a professional K-means algorithm to extract the dominant color palette from your cover and calculate WCAG contrast ratios. This helps you ensure your cover stands out in crowded Amazon search results.
What happens if Amazon changes its website layout?
We monitor Amazon continuously and release fixes as quickly as possible to keep CoverTest Pro always working. The extension is regularly updated to adapt to any layout changes. You can also report any anomalies directly to our support team.
How much does CoverTest Pro cost?
CoverTest Pro has a free plan to get started, and a Premium Lifetime plan at $29.99 (one-time payment, no subscription). The Premium plan includes unlimited projects, covers, tests, mobile simulator, and notes. 30-day money-back guarantee included.
Who is CoverTest Pro for?
CoverTest Pro is built for self-publishing authors, publishers, book cover designers, and anyone selling books on Amazon who wants to make data-driven decisions about cover design instead of guessing.
How do I get reader feedback on my book cover before publishing?
With Preview Link you pick up to 3 cover versions, generate a shareable link, and send it to your Facebook groups, newsletter or beta readers. They see your covers simulated in real Amazon dimensions: search results, product page, related carousel or full print wraparound, and vote for the one they prefer. You collect objective data instead of guessing.
Do voters need to create an account to vote on my covers?
No. Voters just open the link, look at the simulated covers, answer any optional questions, and vote. No signup, no password. Votes are anonymous on their side; only you see the counts. To create a preview, you only need an email address (no password) to "sign" it and find it later.
What results do I see from a Preview Link?
In your project's Previews tab you get visits and votes per preview, a results bar with percentages and the winning version, an event timeline (creation, first share, vote milestones, expiry), aggregate stats across previews, and a downloadable results card to share or archive. Free links last 5 days with up to 2 versions; Premium unlocks a 3rd version and 10/30-day or never-expiring links.
