Try splitting your image into 2 parts.

Mmm, Linda's is 68x90. Mine is reduced in height to shorten it at the same time. I'll try splitting it in two but then someone is bound to complain that it takes too much vertical space.

I'm sure I saw someone's that was split in 2, but on the same line, so it looked like one.

Splitting in to 2 should be fine. There is a max width per image which is why it's coming out so small - as joo says, too wide images play havoc on mobile.

I've made the image 498px wide, 102px narrower than a Kindle, but it is still being unnaturally reduced. I already spent half a day with it a couple of weeks ago, plus the time today. I just don't have time to mess around with it any more. Thanks for your help. If you find a way of making it work, draw my attention to it, please.

Hi, if you split this one,

Into 3 (ie 4 books in each horizontally) it should do the trick. I am in the process of working on an update to the signature system as I know that authors struggle with the present one.

Andre, you have loads of books, and without looking any further than the image, it appears some of them belong in a series?

If this is the case, perhaps an image made of book 1's might be better? Or perhaps just the most eye-catching covers?

Sometimes, less is more. I can find the rest of your catalogue once I've been hooked in with a small handful of well-chosen covers.

Another way is to attach books you've written to your profile. You can do this from your profile here : http://www.kuforum.co.uk...

Thanks, Damien. As this is a Kindle conference, those are just the current e-books I've written or edited in the last year or so, out of god alone knows how many books, about 400 editions in print. Less is is already more.
