So, if I'm thinking bookplates for the Kindle, then they should properly be 550 x 450??
There is a difference between screensaver images, which fill the 600x800 screen, and images in a MOBI/AZW ebook which are limited to 520x640. Also the latter will be resized for you if they are too big, but the screensaver images need to be exactly the right size and format. See Kindle Screensaver.
