Some images are available online to download are free, and some are for sale. Usually the quality and size you can download has a lot to do with the price (if it is for sale). But this is not always the case, many online image websites change their policies from time to time with special promotions, therefore you should always keep your eyes out for new special offers.
No matter which images you chose to download, it will be owned by someone else, and therefore subject to copyright. You must read their terms and conditions prior to downloading and using that image in an eBook (or for a cover).
Remember, "Royalty Free" does not mean "no copyright". It simply means (subject to their terms and conditions) you can use the image without paying them any money (ie. No royalties). It does not necessarily mean "you don't pay to use the picture up front" and it may have restrictions on what you can use and when - it may just mean you don't have to pay ongoing royalties when sales are made of products bearing that image. Often royalty free images are used a lot, it is not "exclusive" for to use it.
You can use "Public Domain" images however you please. But most public domain photos are not that inspiring. Google "public domain images" and you will see what I mean!!
"Rights Protected" images are bought for a certain time period for a specific project. These images are negotiated beforehand with the photographer, for a fee. Then you will be entitled to exclusive rights to the image during the time period. While this is often how commercial projects are done, for small bloggers like us, this can be too expensive.
