Nook Color, Book Cover, Calibre

readinggal · 05-21-2012, 06:38 PM

Hello,

First let me apoligize if this has been posted, I did look but could not find anything then again I have a yammering kid, barking dog and trying to feed family in between LOL....

I have a Nook Color and the most recent version of Calibre.

I have downloaded a book and uploaded it to Calibre. I used updated metatags to include the book cover. When I try to upload it to my Nook Color, the image is not there.

Can someone please tell me how I can or what I need to do to get the cover loaded and listed in my Nook Library.

Thank you

What I do is get the cover I want under Metadata, then go to Convert books and convert it from epub to epub. This will add the cover to the book.

any idea about how to go around this?

Detailed instructions are forbidden on this forum, but if you google Apprentice Alf's Blog you can find more info.

Hello,

I went to Apprentice Alfs blog and did what it said this morning,.. however the plugin for BN is no longer valid.

So how do I now go about getting my cover in my nook.

Anyideas?
