EPUB Cover Blurry in Apple Books
Hey everyone. I finally finished and uploaded my ebook, designed with Calibre. When I open it in Apple Books on my Mac, though, the cover image looks blurry, next to all the other ebooks I have downloaded in my computer.
When I click on it to go INTO the book, the image is clear there.
Is there a way to get rid of the blurriness on the main ebooks page in Books?

Double posting is frowned up. Posting near identical messages in the calibre and epub forums is unlikely to get you a faster or better answer.

Thanks David! Brand new here, wasn’t sure which forum would be the correct one for the topic. Very much appreciate the feedback! (trying to figure out how to delete the other thread now)

No way to delete the other thread other than asking a moderator. What's done is done, my message was more to avoid doing so in the future.

Thank you. I messaged them as soon as you said it but still haven’t heard back.

Update: Problem has been solved!

The Cover art had be in PNG or JPEG format, RGB colorspace, and at least 1400 pixels on its shortest side. 1400 (width) × 1873 (height) pixels.

What I do is use a size on the height of 1600px. That works on an iPad as well as a 300DPI eInk screen. What the width is, that depends on the aspect ratio to keep it correct.
