Hello,
When I add a cover to a book through Calibre it never seems to fit the screen on my Kindle. I understand that the Kindle resizes images over 600x800 but even when my image is exactly 600x800 it seems to have a border of maybe about 1/2" down the sides (but not top and bottom). I have downloaded a book through Amazon that had a cover that filled the screen but it was 1200x1600! How do I get a cover image to fill the screen?
