PRS-T1 PDF with cover?

[ebmr]

Is it possible to have book cover images for PDF files like for epub files?

I believe the PRS-T1 uses the first page of the PDF as the cover.

I don't have a T-1, but the file system works anything like the 350, you can do it easily with Calibre. I make my own covers for my PDFs and just stick the cover.jpg file in the appropriate directory for the PDF on the reader and in my Calibre Library.

If the basic T-1 directory structure has a folder for each book, or a specific name for the covers for each book, you could probably do it without using Calibre using the same method. I just make my images 800x600 and make them B&W and compress them to smallest file size without losing quality.

If you mean getting thumbnails for your PDFs and you are also a Calibre user, it's as simple as going to Preferences - Device Interface - Sony PRST1 - Customize plugin and check the box Upload separate cover thumbnails for books.

Any book you send to the PRST1 from now on, using Calibre (not drag-drop) will also have a thumbnail sent at the same time. The thumbnail will be created from the cover you are storing in Calibre which may or may not be the same as the one on page 1 of the book. It works for all books epub, pdf, txt whether they are DRM or not.

So if you resend your pdfs to the PRST1 all thumbnails should be present and correct at the end.
