A professional design costs less than you might expect
Since I offer my services mostly to authors who are self-publishing those books, the fees for the covers shouldn't be too high but you'll still get very good value for your money. After all, covers are very often the first thing that attracts readers when browsing the ebook online stores so it's money well spent. Scrimping on covers is not a good idea in my experience.
Formatting books is very often something author will do themselves with Word but professional layouts make a book more enjoyable to read and ensure that for example italics are displayed as italics on ALL e-readers and having me do it isn't very expensive so save yourself that worry - especially if you want to sell at Smashwords.
