image size for kindle fire

rosshalde · 11-29-2014, 09:24 AM

Hello,

I have been creating epub files using Sigil and then converting to Mobi and Azw3 via Calibre to be used on either kindle e-readers or their fire models.

My question is about picture size. Thus far, I have been designing the books with the standard 6 inch e-reader in mind. When I viewed the file on the largest fire model, the image clearly left much space to be larger.

Question 1: What are the image dimensions suggested for Kindle Fire?
Question 2: Does the size of the Fire matter? 6inch vs 7inch vs 8.9 inch? Or does Kindle software auto adjust to display on the smaller screen?

Thanks in advance.
