KPW No Covers?

setite · 10-08-2012, 04:16 AM

Anyone know why my covers aren't populating on the Paperwhite? I can;t find the answer so I'm asking. The books are mobi combo files made in Calibre. I tried making sure my high resolution covers were reduced to 3--x500 and no go. The only covers I have are original unconverted Amazon books. I also tried a book I own, stripped of DRM converted to MOBI and the cover isn't working. But if I long click the book then the covers are there, so it seems the kindle is finding the covers, it's just not bothering to display.

Also, the books were tagged [EBOK]. Please help, covers were a big part of the reason I upgraded from my Kindle Keyboard to a Paperwhite.

A search would have referenced a thread already started here last week as well as a discussion in the Calibre sub-forum.

Thanks. I promised I searched. Sometimes my google-fu is strong, and sometimes I get my ass kicked by a 10 year old girl, so to speak.

I know what you mean.

Actually, the search engine here on MR works well.
