Any ideas? I am attaching the specific book as it is in the public domain, but I cannot make this work with other epub files, either.
When I used Sigil to open the book you posted I found the following line in the content.opf file:

<item content="cover-image" href="Images/cover.jpg" id="cover.jpg" media-type="image/jpeg"/>

What I did not see was a line with the properties="cover-image" item as in the example below:

<item href="Images/cover.jpg" id="cover.jpg" media-type="image/jpeg" properties="cover-image" />

I would suspect that changing the content= to properties= in the line quoted might allow the cover to work. OTOH, Sigil was unhappy with either content or properties in that line which is more or less to be expected.

Regards,
David
