I also have the ebook in the library (on my computer) as a back up, so I was wondering if that had anything to do with it not working, but I can't see where to change the thumbnail file in the library.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I am a bit pedantic about my covers, and it is really annoying me that two books I paid quite a bit for have a stupid generic 'Penguin' for the cover.

Hi, WendyH. Here's what I did. I didn't delete the old thumbnail. I opened the new picture in my photo editor software so I could resize and crop it to the cover image that I wanted. [I found that the ereader didn't like thumbnail images that were too large. It was files sized ~400K that had issues.] Then I did a File > Save As and selected the old thumbnail. Then said yes to the prompt if it was ok to replace that file. That way I knew that the image would be named exactly like it was supposed to be.
