Probably unrelated, the covers displayed when browsing books in calibre often don't match the books.
I'm using calibre 0.6.13 under linux.

Thanks.
That version is really old . (The Repositories are way behind)

do the "Binary Install" found on the Calibre Linux Download page
http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux Paste that entire line into a terminal window.
(you might want to remove the previous version. Your Library will remain intact)

The newer version have a "Merge feature"
