Let’s Work TogetherEbook Cover vs Print Cover vs Full Wrap
The cover you need depends on how you publish. Here is a clear breakdown.
| Cover Type | What Is Included | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Ebook cover | Front face only, high-resolution JPG | Kindle and ebook retailers |
| Print cover (full wrap) Recommended | Front, spine, and back, print-ready PDF | Paperback and print-on-demand |
| Full wrap with jacket | Front, spine, back, and flaps | Hardcover editions |
Most authors publishing in multiple formats commission the print wrap and adapt the front for ebook. We advise on the right choice during your quote, based on where and how you plan to publish.
