: Re: Kindle cover image I was wondering about the book cover image used for KDP. Amazon documentation only mentions the minimum required resolution of the pictures. So, I assume: I should upload

The Kindle Direct Publishing guidelines for ebook creation states that:

Cover image should ideally have 8:5 aspect ratio (height/width).
Minimum 625px for short side and 1000 for long. Ideally 2500px for long.
Cover size cannot exceed 50 MB.
It is recommended to turn off compression.
DPI for image should be 72.
Color mode of image should be RGB.

There are more details in the link above, but those 6 points sum it up pretty well.

To be more specific on your questions:

Yes, you should upload the highest quality image you have, but it is important to adhere to those guidelines above.
The cover in mobi will never be modified by amazon unless it is absent. Device itself will scale it down or up.
I'm not sure about that one.
