As more and more bloggers put out ebooks and I end up working on more ebooks, I thought I’d add a few more resources to my list of sites for finding cover design inspiration.
Ebook covers are like most book covers: they need to grab your attention, be easily read and, for novels, it’s helpful if they give an idea of the book genre.
Ebook covers are also unique in that they need to work really well at small sizes for the icons in ebook stores, i.e as small as 100px wide and look OK in greyscale for Kindle.
