Kindle certainly doesn’t like to make it easy for authors using their services. I’m in the process of updating the eBook version of How to Succeed as a Supervillain by Following the Evil Overlord List to the second edition. As I’ve mentioned before, whilst preparing the Amazon print edition I encountered something weird when I was using cover creator. I was forced to create a new cover as the trim size had been changed to bring it line with the Draft2Digital version but try as I might I was unable to match the original cover design which was a bit disappointing. I’m now running into a similar problem with the eBook version as there doesn’t seem to be any facility to use the same cover for both versions. Cover creator is allowing me to produce something similar, but it won’t allow me to match the existing cover. For example, the author name comes up as TIM HAYES, all in capital letters, and it won’t let me reformat it to a mix of upper case and lower case so I can’t use Tim Hayes as on the cover of the print version. It’s hinky, inflexible, and downright frustrating to use. #bookstodon #WritersOfMastodon #Author #Novel
