    OK, right up front I have to admit this is a strange request, but does anybody out there know how I can covert a .jpg image from my Adobe Photoshop album into an Ebook cover, or of a service that will do this for free? (This is a one time situation). I am a registered user of Cover Factory, which, however, doesn't take imported pictures

    eBooks usually come in .pdf format. From what I understood you need to put that .jpg file as your eBook cover right?

    Well, you can easily to this job. If you have the source of your file, lets say, word file of the book, you can insert the image on page 1 and then print it as a .pdf. You can use adobe distiller or if you like a free software, you can search for 'cutewriter' on Google and install it in your PC. It will show up as a CUTEPDF WRITER in your printers list.

    Second, if you already have that eBook in PDF format, and u want to replace or delete the existing cover page, you need to use the Adobe Acrobat Professional. There is an option there where you can do that easily.

    Hope this helps.
