Does the cover image need to be a certain size to fit the e-book page? I used Calibre before, and it seemed to be able to adjust the image so that it exactly filled the page (sorry, I know those are layman's terms). But the image I just used is huge. When I view the e-book I expected it to be resized, but it only shows the upper corner of the cover because the page isn't long or wide enough to show the entire thing.

Do I need to shrink down my image before including it? Is there an advisable size?

Thanks!
