Quick answer

Use the eBook path when you need a vertical front-cover concept for Kindle, launch graphics, or early direction testing. eBook covers do not need bleed or spine setup, but the same artwork can later become the front panel of a paperback wrap.

How it works

  1. Choose a genre signal: Start from the reader shelf: romance, thriller, fantasy, nonfiction, sci-fi, or general fiction.
  2. Generate a vertical front cover: Use the AI Book Cover Generator to create a front-cover concept without spine or back-cover constraints.
  3. Add readable typography: Move the winning direction into the Creator so title, subtitle, and author name remain editable.
  4. Convert to paperback only when needed: If print is part of the launch, use KDP Cover Creator to add trim size, page count, spine, bleed, and barcode space.

FAQ

Is an eBook cover different from a paperback cover?

Yes. An eBook cover is a single front image, while a paperback cover needs back cover, spine, front cover, bleed, and safe-zone handling in one full-wrap file.

Can I use the AI eBook cover as a paperback front panel?

Yes. The safest workflow is to generate the front-cover direction first, then finish the paperback geometry inside KDP Cover Creator.

Should I add title text inside the AI prompt?

Usually no. Keep AI art mostly text-free, then add editable title and author typography in the Creator so the final cover stays readable and correct.
