I wanted to add my own cover. It was a jpg. Is there a minimum or maximum resolution/dimension for ebooks?

Why did I have to CONVERT a free ebook to Calibre ebook in order to add the jpg cover I had made?
Calibre is a library management tool with conversion capabilities, Sigil is an ePUB editor. Different tools, different usages. I avoid Calibre conversions completely, since it will generate a style chaos with all the calibre styles names.

If the free ebook is already and ePUB, you don't need to convert. Just open it in Sigil.

There is a tutorial floating around here, I think in the workshop subforum with a quick introduction to html/css to get you started. I believe it is from Pablo.
