is there a more nice looking way to protect a paperback book cover besides taping kraft paper over it

put it in a vacuum sealed glass case out of the sunlight and never touch it or look at it again.

protect it from what, actually being read?

Paperbacks are honesty more durable than hardback, the spines in 90% of hardback are shit cardboard and will get fucked when water damaged and slight rips in the dust sleeves are just sad, damage on paperback mostly just adds character.
You could take the library pill and try wrapping it in clear sticky plastic film

You can redo the cover. It's paper, bro.
There are videos online, e.g. off the first search results

Even a simple job is better than a torn up cover
