Signature help again, please

Thanks to Joo's help previously, I know how to insert a cover image in my sig, but Amazon - or Firefox - isn't playing ball.

I wanted to put The Dragon Key between the two covers already there but when I right click and choose 'copy image location' I get this:
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com...
which gives a full size image.

How or where do I find the link to the correctly sized image, please?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008RJRBEY

Thank you.

RE: Signature help again, please

I fixed it for you.

I usually go for the image on your amazon author page - ie, I clicked on one of your books from your link, then clicked on your name which took me to http://www.amazon.co.uk...
The images on there are just the right size.

RE: Signature help again, please

Oh, I've got myself in a right old muddle. I wanted to put Gladiarix up instead of Wargeld, put in the oimage url from Amazon as I thoght, but that didn't work, so i added in the link, but it told me it was too long, so I deleted my Amazon Author page link, and it still didn't work.

I'm bored with my signature and I thought I'd like to put Gladiatrix, Earth Magic and Book Lovers up instead. What am I doing wrong, please?

Your problem was not putting the final ] after the web address.

RE: Signature help again, please

Problem. My bookstrip seems very small, about 15 pixel high. It doesn't matter whether what I post is 80px or 436px high, it gets the same result. What's gone wrong here?

The code is

Code:
[url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&field-keywords=Andre+Jute][img]http://www.coolmainpress.com//andre_sig_80pxh.jpg[/img][/url]

and

Code:

Thanks for your help.

This is what it should look like:

I'm not sure why it's quite so small, but I know that there is a maximum size but it should be as Linda and Lynda's above. Perhaps it's the width. I know that long images are a nightmare when reading the forum on a kindle.
Try splitting your image into 2 parts.
