This will update the cover in the ebook. You'll then have to re-add the book with metadata reading from the ebook turned on.
Other methods include:
- Use calibredb to set the metadata in the library, but to do that you'll need to create an opf file.
- Copy the cover to the Calibre library and change its name to cover.jpg.
- Fetch the cover online. You need correct titles and authors for this to work well.
