No didnt think of that. Dont think it matters actually as thats got nothing to do with the cover at any rate from what I can see. How ever theducks had some valid information. The covers are 417 pixels width 686 high and 300dpi x300dpi
They are all around that size and resolution always have been. Just no matter what I do those covers only show long enough to load on to the touch and show up in calibres display as being there up untill the touch processes them. then they get turned to blank screens.
The ducks had some interesting comments that are worth investigating and more to the point I think.
Heres a copy of the log for the last book I converted but on the touch its a blank cover now
