How to remove/delete cover image from .mobi file?

Thanks!

rockster · 09-12-2012, 07:41 AM

My cover images are not showing on my Kindle for PC when in "Library view". I found that if i add cover image to file that doesn't have cover image at all then the cover is shown in Library view. But if the mobi file has a cover image and i only try to change it it doesn't show the cover. So, if i want to make the cover visible i have to delete the old cover image and then add the new image but i can't find way to delete the old cover image.

Does anyone can help me with this?

K4PC doesn't always (if ever, any more) use the internal metadata cover-image for its library display. It downloads and stores a local copy of the cover image when purchasing/downloading Amazon content. I'll be honest... I don't know if it's possible any more to "roll your own" MOBIs and have K4PC display the cover. It seems as though it's tied to the official Amazon purchase/download process. Somebody might have figured out how to hack K4PCs db and get it to work, though.
