How to Specify a Cover on KindleGen

With Amazon's KindleGen command line tool you can build e-books from HTML and XML files for publication in Amazon's Kindle Store. To specify your cover image, you need to edit the HTML or XML code to point to the correct image you want to use. If done properly, KindleGen will automatically include the cover when it builds your e-book.

Instructions

      Open your e-book's .OPF file.

      <item href="yourpicture.jpg" id="my-cover-image" media-
      type="image/jpeg" />

      Replace "yourpicture" with the file name of your cover.
