Thank you very much, Frode and Paul.

Frode: that MobileRead wiki page is an excellent resource: I’ve taken some useful information from it. Still, there is much more information needed, by ebook publishers, to create images for each of these various ebook readers.

Paul, I will now fix the tables to account for your suggestions.

Thanks again, to both … Michael

There can be a difference between the maximum size that can be displayed in the book itself, and the maximum size for the cover image.

For instance, on the CyBook Gen3, Cover images should be at 600×800 to display full-screen.

Also, for Kindle the recommended maximum size is 63KiB, not 64KiB.
