Elfwreck:

Yup, I've not read anything from Amazon that lists a size requirement other than "1000 pixels for the longest side is accepted," which implies that it's a minimum.

But even that isn't a requirement as far as I can tell. Up until two days ago, all I'd ever uploaded were 600x800 images and they've never said a thing about it. I've also seen nothing to indicate a deadline is in the works for Amazon like Smashwords has indicated for themselves and Apple.

One of the reasons it isn't bothering me too much at the moment, I suppose, is that I always begin with images suitable for a wraparound cover at 300ppi for the paperbacks, and I've got to get the hi-res versions anyway.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
