I placed the images in the Covers folder and in the Covers/Bookshelf folder both by the original ISPN number name and by book title. But, the covers still do not show on the Mobipocket Library shelf. I get the default image for every book. I can not find help for this problem on the Mobipocket web-site. What can I do to get the covers to show in the Library bookshelf?
Sometimes covers don't show, and I can't make them show (like for prc files someone else made - I'm not sure what they're doing but their covers don't show in the desktop reader and I can't make them).

But other times the cover won't show, or the previous cover will show even though I changed it.

The way I make them show is to delete the book from the reader, open the folder and delete the cover image and image from the sub-folder "Bookshelf" and then when I put the prc file back into reader, it correctly extracts the correct cover image. This works for prc files I make, and for prc files I have bought.

It seems it won't overwrite an image already linked to a file. You have to delete the file, then delete the covers, then reinstall the file.
