Hello,

I just got a new basic model Kindle and have a few questions about pictures.
I loaded on some third party books that look great on my old kindle 3rd generation I believe (full keyboard on the bottom).
Picture size in these files has always been 566 x 700 and that has essentially filled the screen. On the new Kindle, those same pics look much smaller. I am assuming this is because the new Kindle must have a higher res screen. Is that right? On the new Kindle, what is the appropriate size image to fill the screen?
I am estimating something like 740 x 1000....thoughts?
If I start making books with that size image, what will happen if someone views it on their older model Kindles?
