Even current 6" readers have 1448 pixel height. For thumbnails on my Nook, smaller images are fine. But Kobo uses covers for the sleep screen. kindles now offer it. Likely Nook will eventually too. I try to set my covers for at least 1920 height, just to future proof things.

If anyone is interested, I have uploaded many of my book covers.
The work ranges from touch-ups to full reproductions... https://github.com/KarellenX/book-covers |

Some of those are still copyright, but it probably doesn't matter as the publishers used to give out unused covers as promotional material to bookshops and schools.
I only worry about good book covers to replace a missing dust jacket or damaged cover on a paper edition. |

Those Caliban books are great. I wish they would get official ebook releases. (Have I already mentioned that in this thread? I might have. I check in on those books a couple of times a year.) |

Happy that you enjoyed them.
I've still have quite a few books in my pbook library that I need to add to calibre, so I expect I'll be adding to the collection, slowly. |

Thanks! I found a few for some of my books that didn't have nice covers, including the very one I'm re-reading RIGHT NOW, The Hobbit. I much prefer YOUR cover to the one it has. You made my day! |
