Cover Image size
My cover image is a jpg 600 px x 800 px as I read was recommended but it's showing up with a white border on the sides and bottom, and when converted to mobi it scales it with the white borders. it there a setting somewhere I am missing.
thanks all, you've been a big help to this newbie. |

I use
<img class="fullpage" alt="cover" [... etc] /> with .fullpage { height: 100%; max-width: 100% } Alternatively, you can use svg: Code:
<div> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" height="100%" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 600 800" width="100%"> <image height="800" width="600" xlink:href="../Images/cover.jpeg"></image> </svg> </div> |

If you're converting you epub to .mobi as well, I'd suggest not using SVG

I prefer the svg option. Therefore you don't need to convert a image file to the right size. Simply say how big it is and it scales it on every device perfect.

When making the cover image, keep it aspect ratio correct.
