@DiapDealer...I've changed the cover image warning to a cover page warning in the release notes. But I now admit to being somewhat confused because you appear to be disagreeing with what both st_albert and Hitch have been saying on this thread about not having a cover.xhtml file in your epub when you upload to KDP.

Here is what Hitch has said about the cover.xhtml file in this thread:

"We make our files as does St. Albert--we build our ePUB, get a working, ePUB-checked copy, and then we remove the cover.xhtml page/file. We leave the meta pointing at the cover, as well as the Guide (for the Go To functionality).

Honestly, we haven't made a MOBI from an ePUB with a cover.xhtml file in at least 5 years, possibly longer. As long as Amazon has been inserting the covers "for" the publishers."

But you've said this in your last post:

"Same for the request to check the image resolution of images. It is certainly possible (as Doitsu pointed out), and it's certainly allowed, since KDP does (and always has allowed cover IMAGES to be present in uploaded epubs)".

Who is right about removing or not removing the cover.xhtml file? You or Hitch?

I really don't want to argue about whether the cover.xhtml file should be in the epub or not. I just want to know who is right since you and Hitch seem to have directly opposing opinions on whether the cover.xhtml file should be removed or not before upload to KDP. You also keep referring to the cover page and cover image while I've been talking about nothing but the cover image file -- cover.xhtml.
