For getting covers into the NC for non-native epubs i did the following as suggested earlier in this forum.

Click Convert and convert from non-epub to epub.
Check the Use Cover from Source file box
Click OK

Once the conversion is complete i 90%+ had to then convert the epub to epub, again making sure that the Use Cover from Source file box was checked.

After that i connected the NC and transfered the books and the covers where there on the NC, the same cover as showed in Calibre.

I had downloaded a lot of free epubs that did not display a cover in Calibre and went to Amazon, searched for the book, copied the image and pointed Calibre to the image on my hard drive. Then i did the above steps of converting epub to epub with the Use Cover from Source file box checked and a i now have covers showing on all my books on my NC.

I apologize to whoever posted the epub to epub trick as i don't remember who it was and thus cannot quote you and give you the credit you deserve.

my thanks though, it is nice to have proper covers showing.
