After four hours, I think I can pass on what I have found out. The covers will transfer to the Nook Color. First, make sure you 'refresh' your display as when you transfer over some books, the covers {even previously successful covers} may come out generic. I did this by changing the order of the library display and even going to the home screen. Often that fixed the problem.

I also made sure I "added" a cover from within Calibre and reconverted them from ePub to ePub. Now a lot of public domain ePub's don't come with covers so I had to capture jpg's from the net that reflected the title of the book.

I thought size would matter and in the end I don't see it makes much of a difference. BTW, on the Nook Color, the cover size in the MyFiles folder is 96 x 144.

If anyone know, can Calibre support folders within it? It would be nice to group one's library by genre in folders rather than one long list.
