Book Covers not showing up

seacity1 · 05-14-2013, 07:53 PM

This is a bit of a strange problem. I have 3 books that show up with blank covers in the Nook library & on the Nook desktop. However the covers do show up correctly in the Calibre Companion app & when I open the book. Should I delete the books & try uploading them again?

Do an epub to epub conversion and then resend the books.

Thanks - that worked. I realized the thing that was common with 2 of the 3 books was that I had used "Polish" to insert/change covers. The third book was an epub that had a good cover & did not appear to be in need of conversion. As mentioned all 3 books showed up in both Calibre & Calibre Companion with covers intact when the books were opened. They were only missing the covers in the Nook library itself. Based on this experience I am not sure when to use conversion instead of Polish?? I have been trying to use Polish because it appears to be less "invasive."
