I tried 600 x 900 pixels but when anazon converts it to a sample thumbnail I can barely see my image. Anything larger seems absurdly long. Any suggestions?

Despite the lower price point, the new cover, the new description, etc. I have not sold a single copy more than I did before. The only difference I see is that instead of making $2 a copy I'm now making 37 cents for each copy I sell. Interestingly enough, so far, the results from the overhaul are zilch.

I have a hard time with the cover art aspect of this whole indie e-publisher gig because I don't have much of an eye for that sort of thing, and I've gotten "love the cover" and "hate the cover" from people in regards to the same cover, heh. Good luck with the new version! I like old covers, but the new one does seem more like what’s being done out there these days.

Hart Sat, 12 Mar 2011 16:26:47 +0000 http://guidohenkel.com/?p=484#comment-368 I, also, was one of the people who did not like the original covers. The character seemed to be too obviously (dare I say it?) a rip-off of the 1927 Lon Chaney film, "London After Midnight," and actually put me off. The new cover is great.

It takes a lot of courage to change one's mind and long-established conceptions and take a fresh look at everything from the ground up. Even below the ground. I had a challenge at it myself. Good job and good luck. Scott Nicholson Smart reasoning. It takes a lot of courage to change one’s mind and long-established conceptions and take a fresh look at everything from the ground up.

I thought it would actually bring kind of a "fresh" element into the mix, as people had not seen this kind of presentation in quite a while. However - as much as I personally like it - I now believe that perhaps the look is simply not contemporary enough for people to connect with it. But then again, what do I know?
