Kindle PW2 - thumbnail size
Hey Guys,

Trying to set-up my PW2 and I was wondering what is the biggest size thumbnail we can use for book covers. I am converting them through calibre and want to select the biggest size. Let me know - I have been unable to find this info. TIA..

I don't remember what the max size is, but if you install the Resize Cover plugin for Calibre and use its default settings (450 x 680) you are good.

I use 1066x1600 so they will work on my Kindle Fire and Kindle Android App as they need large size covers for it to show up but they work fine on my other Kindles as well.

Thank you both. I will look into the plugin. Regarding the huge size thumbnail does it increase the book size by much?

Remember to use the plugin to resize the cover before you convert...or reconvert after resizing.
