Each book can have a cover image and one linked manuscript. Both are on the Details tab of the book form.
Add a cover image
- Go to Book Library and open the book, or click Add New Book.
- Scroll down to Cover Image on the Details tab.
- Click Upload cover file and choose an image, or paste a link to an image under or paste a URL.
- Check the preview, then click Save Changes (or Add Book for a new book).
Cover files must be JPEG, PNG, WebP or GIF images under 10 MB. Uploaded covers are saved where your files are stored: built-in storage, or the Dropbox or Google Drive account you chose in Settings.
A cover you paste as a link stays a link. If the website hosting it removes the image, your cover will disappear too. Uploading the file is more reliable. Covers you pick from a title search are saved to your storage for you.
Attach a manuscript
- Open the book and go to Manuscript on the Details tab.
- Either:
- Click Upload new, choose a PDF or EPUB file, then pick the Storage folder to put it in, or
- Click Choose from Storage to link a PDF or EPUB you've already uploaded.
- Click Save Changes.
To unlink the manuscript, click the x next to its name and save. The file stays in Storage.
Put a book's files in a folder
Use the Folder field on the Details tab to give the book a Storage folder. New manuscripts you upload for that book are suggested for the same folder. Choose + New Folder… to create one.
Tip
To start a new book from a file, drag a cover image or a PDF or EPUB onto the app and drop it on Add Book (cover) or Add Book (manuscript). A new book form opens with the file ready to use. A spreadsheet dropped on Book Importer opens the importer instead.
