When adding a new book to your OptRead listing, you'll often want to include a cover image to help readers visually identify your title. Fortunately, you can do this quickly using your book’s ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number).
🔹 What You'll Need
- Your book’s ASIN (found on your Amazon book detail page)
- Access to the ASIN Image Link Generator — a simple tool that creates the direct image URL
✅ Steps to Generate Your Book Cover Image
-
Copy your book’s ASIN from Amazon.
Example:B0CFXLPDH6 -
Go to the ASIN Image Generator.
(If using the internal OptRead tool or provided script, open the HTML page locally or online.) -
Paste the ASIN into the input box and click Generate Link.
-
The tool will display:
- The direct image URL (e.g.
https://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0CFXLPDH6.jpg) - A preview of the book cover
- A Copy button to quickly save the image link
- The direct image URL (e.g.
){kind=link}
📤 How to Use the Link on OptRead
When you're filling out the book submission form on OptRead:
- Paste the generated image URL into the appropriate “Book Cover URL" field
- Save your submission, and your book cover will now display automatically for readers!
💡 Pro Tips
- Ensure the ASIN is correct to avoid broken image links.
- Double-check the preview in the generator before pasting into OptRead.
- You can use this same method across Amazon country domains if needed—just adjust the URL base if sourcing internationally.
