Distorted Cover Image For Kindle

Hi!

Is the Upload Your Book Cover thumbnail the same as the thumbnail you'll see in the Amazon website when the book is published? The Save and Publish is waiting to be clicked but I'm hesitant because of the distorted image I see after uploading the cover. I asked my graphics designer to use 1563x2500. The cover page looks good in the online previewer.

This is what I'm talking about.

This is the previewed book cover in the online previewer.

    It's gonna end up looking like the previewer. I don't know why it looks crappy when you do it through their thing but I know that it ends up looking good.

    Go ahead and pull the trigger. The worst thing that could happen is that it doesn't look good. All you do at that point is go back and re-upload or make the necessary adjustments.

    But it should be okay though. Don't let something so simple stop you in your tracks. You're better than that. It's GO TIME.

        Yeah, for some reason that thumbnail always looks crappy, but when it's live, it looks fine.

          Just to update. It indeed look good in the actual Amazon website. Though I need to edit some book details and a chapter's heading, everything seemed to work fine.

          Here's the actual sales page in Amazon.
