Strangely enough, I made some nice cover images for my three PG submissions so I could put somewhat better formatted versions in the Kindle Store.  I would have been happy to include these with my PG submissions if I had known it was possible!

It would be good if this was better known.  Maybe the White Washers could ask if someone wanted to include a cover image with his submission.  They are not hard to make.  A few minutes with The GIMP is all it takes.

OK thanks -- it didn't occur to me to look in DP for advice on how to target
a PG tool.

Hopefully people who are providing an alt image for the "Blue PDA" realize
that this image needs to include Title and Author.  Which it will if people
say just provide a jpg of the title page.  But if they use the "first pretty
picture" in the book, such as a frontal plate, then they need to use some
kind of picture editing software to place title and author over that image.

Thanks again.
