is it just me, or does our cover images here, seem particularly small. I understand the thumbnail, but once you click on one novel in an authors dashboard, it really doesn't get that big. which is weird to me. People go on and on about how important cover images are, how if you can afford it you should get a real artist and be ready to fork some serious cash over. Or no matter if they are doing their own as best they can manage, its still viewed as important.

all that, and its really small once you;re looking at the cover after you select it. Why would I spend any money on it if I even had it to spend, as small as its going to be seen anyways. DOn;t get me wrong, I like it here! But about the only thing I miss about MoonQuill is that once you;re looking at the authors books, the covers blow up a little. You can see the things. And when you select one novel to look at, you get a decent cover image.I mean not full size naturally, but still.

If I had a grand or two to drop on a cover artist (I don't!) I'd still think... why. Its never going to be very big anyways. is the storage space really that big a deal, I would guess.

You make a fair point, I have always wondered about that too.
Even when it comes to uploading it, image needs to be less than 2MB in file size. I have had to compress both my cover images whenever I upload it onto Scribble Hub.

But idk, it's possible that it's just a limitation of the website.
