Update Your Cover
Update Your Cover
To update your cover, follow the instructions below. Please make sure the title, subtitle, author name, and series information on your cover match the book details you entered.
Note: Many paperback attributes are locked after publication because of ISBN requirements. They can't be updated unless you unpublish and republish your paperback as a new title.
- Go to your Bookshelf
- Click the ellipsis button ("…") under KINDLE EBOOK ACTIONS or PAPERBACK ACTIONS next to the book you want to update
- Choose Edit eBook content or Edit paperback content. This takes you to the Content page
- Scroll down to the "Cover" section
- Choose Launch Cover Creator or Upload your cover file to update your cover or upload a cover you already have. Once the content completes the upload process, the message "Cover uploaded successfully" will appear and the conversion process will start. (This can take several minutes depending on the complexity of the file)
- Go to the "Kindle eBook Preview" or "Book Preview" section
- Click Launch Previewer and make sure your updated cover looks as expected
- Click Save and continue. This takes you to the Pricing page
- Click the publish button at the bottom of this page
