Extending images to edges of screen (bleed) using Kindle Create

[jhowell]

Amazon has released a new version of their Kindle Create program (1.12) with the ability to place images beyond the normal margins, out to the edge of the screen. It is documentated on the Building Your Text-Heavy eBook with Kindle Create web page under "Adding and changing images":

Bleed: Extending images to the edge of the page or screen is called "bleed"; select whether your full-size image should do this. You can experiment with both options to see what feels right for your book. (This pre-release option is only displayed if the image size is Full; see Note above):

* By default, the image position is set to Place within margin.

* If you want the image to extend past the left and right margins, choose Place to edge.
