Thanks for any input,

Just to make sure we are on the same score card
There are typically 3 covers (for books)
1) the publications cover (downloaded or contained in the package)
2) The generic 'Brown book' cover (no text)
3) The cover that is generated when the 'Generate...' button is pushed. Title- Author-Calibre version over the Library icon image. (BTW there are Font tweaks for this one)

So: #1 or #2 or #3 ?
