Having Issues w/ Covers Inside ePubs - Nook or iPad

DaiShan · 04-24-2011, 04:52 PM

I have some eBooks in Calibre and have changed the cover art by editing each book's metadata individually. The covers appear in the right-hand pane just fine.

When I import them to the Nook and iPad, the thumbnails are fine.

However, when I open the books and go to the 1st page, only 1 of the books displays the cover. Same issue with both the Nook and iPad.

Is there anyway in Calibre to force the cover art I want to become "Page 1" of the book?

When exporting a book from calibre, calibre attempts to set the cover you have specified in the library view. However to do this the ePub being exported needs to already have a cover properly set and identified. Not every ePub has their cover properly identified, in these cases doing a ePub to ePub conversion then sending the epub to the device should correct the issue.

Thanks for that answer dwanthny. Converting ePub to ePub creates the cover inside the file.
