During a recent RAT, someone posted about adding book covers directly from Amazon or Good Reads. I've looked back through the RATs, but that is taking a very long time (especially since I can't remember which RAT it was!) Would you mind posting the instructions here?
Thanks

Do you mean hot-linking and sizing the images that are hosted on Amazon/Goodreads?

I guess. Is that what everyone else does? I have been using PhotoBucket, but do not want to pay for it.

Oh I would love to know how to do that!!!!

On GoodReads:
Hover over image and click enlarge image
You need to right click on the image
scroll down and click copy image address
Come back here and click the image button above (when you're in full reply screen)
right click and paste the address into the box

With Amazon, you don't have to enlarge image just go ahead and right click.

To resize it a very easy way is to add an equal sign = behind the IMG then add the dimensions you want. For most pictures I use 150,222 but if you want it a little bigger 225,333 is another good size. By the way, those sizes won't work for audio book images since they're usually square.

Thank you!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope that helps you both. And anybody else that needed to know how to do it.

I almost feel like this should be a pinned thread somewhere

I look this up every time I go to post a book cover.
