Do I Need a New Cover for My Book on KDP?
Do I Need a New Cover for my book or Can I Use the Original Cover?
When preparing to upload a book to KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing), it is important to consider the cover requirements.
Cover Requirements
- The cover for your book must be sized to match the page count of the guide.
- Using the original book cover is typically not feasible, as it likely will not match the new page count of the book.
- If you need to use the original cover, it will require resizing to fit the new specifications.
Options for Cover Adjustment
- If you require assistance with resizing the cover, there may be a revision fee involved. This fee covers either cover edits or formatting edits.
- The standard fee for resizing the cover is $150.
Conclusion
In summary, you will need a new cover that is appropriately sized for your book, as the original cover is unlikely to work without adjustments. If you need help with this process, consider the associated fees for cover resizing.
