Missing cover on mobi/azw3 converted from ePub
Hi everyone,

I have been searching on google and forums on this with no clue with this 'simple' problem. Apologize for newbie questions as I am still new to kindle PW3.

I have book collection in ePub, I used callibre (in OSX) to convert into mobi and azw3 and sideload them from Calibre to Kindle. However their covers sometimes show up correctly but sometimes not show up in my kindle.

I did hard reset last night and sideload all the azw3 books (the same azw3 books) right away after the reset, and surprisingly, all of them are worked fine. However, I don't think that this is the solution as the process is tedious as well.

Is there any tips or workflow for this ePub to Kindle conversion process which guarantee for success?

Thank you very much.

Hi,

Just to update. It seems the problem is due to cover size. I used calibre plugin, "Resize Cover", to resize to 217x330 (for PW3). So far it works.

That's a very small cover size, and it'll look very blurry when displayed full-screen. Amazon's Kindle publishing recommendations for cover sizes are:

A minimum of 625 pixels on the shortest side and 1000 pixels on the longest side. For best quality, your image should be 2500 pixels on the longest side.

You are correct. It is the multiply of that ratio. So it could be 500x760 or 1644x2500. Thanks!
