Sorry but what else is there to tell you? Oh calibre 0.9.6

Since yesterday I've spent a good few hours converting - trying lots of methods given on this site.

Now have a book cover as per the original BUT has a white flash across the base of the book that says 'Personal' in it !!??
Furthermore having changed the pic size to 600x800mm it still shows in a reduced size compared to books purchased from Amazon.

So, someone, anyone, please explain in very simple language, step by step, if possible as to WTF I'm doing wrong?

Never had this much grief with a piece of plastic tech b4 - been reading ebooks for more years than my eyes care to remember, starting with a Palm - never was it this much hassle - and I simply refuse to repurchase books that I already own !!
