Hi Jim, I haven't read your whole e-mail, just thought I'd reply to this snippet: On Jan 19, 2012, at 04:15, Jim Adcock wrote:
It seems like you have a way to not use the "Blue PDA" as the cover image. I don't see how you do this, because I don't see how PG allows specification of the cover image to be used with an HTML submission? In any case, on many small devices a cover image like you have which includes title and author is much more useful than the PG default "Blue PDA." Or is it that you don't include a cover at all, and that Amazon is automagically providing me with one? But when I submit an HTML PG gives my EPUB a "Blue PDA" -- whether I want it or not!
There are several ways of specifying a cover in your HTML version that epubmaker will use for the epub (and Kindle?) version(s) of your book. See Marcello's advice here: http://www.pgdp.net/wiki/The_Proofreader%27s_Guide_to_EPUB#Cover_Page Jana
