photostock figure – a picture of a person from a photostock – smiling, artificial, more like figure than a person

good e-book design – cover is a part of a design. In case of ePub books it’s the only part you can design by yourself. ePub format is the future of e-books.

to spot = to locate or identify
to share = to share
good stuff = good stuff

If sbd is not trying to understand he’ll never understand.

"spot and share a good stuff"? And what's the whole "photostock figure" thing about? And then he goes on to point to examples of "good e-book design" as being…good-looking book covers? What? I have no idea what he's trying to say here.
