Making covers in conversion
Hello,
I am new to Calibre and I've watched the tutorials, but I have a question that I haven't been able to find the answer for. I'm converting from HTML to MOBI, and also from EPUB to MOBI, and in both cases the files must not have a cover associated with them, because I find that in the conversion process Calibre will pick a random image from the file and make it the cover of the book. I want to stop this from happening, but I can't find a preference anywhere in the conversion module to do this. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks! |

Consider adding the "Generate Cover" plugin to calibre. Its a useful little tool.
You can add it from the Plugin section of Preferences. Click the "Get Plugin" button at the bottom of the Preferences/Plugins page and scroll through the list. |
