Are you saying you purchased your device shortly after it was released (November/December) and had success with earlier versions of calibre from day one?

I'm using the latest software, both on the Nook Color and Calibre. Since they are both free and fast to download, I'm not sure why the old versions would be an issue now. This technique may not have worked on earlier versions, but the point is that the problem is not fixed by the update alone, and so my method of re-"converting" is a fix to the immediate situation.

Unless there is a way you know, for calibre to do a convert without re-writing the CSS file, that would help fix many problems?...

I didn't create most of the books in calibre; a number of them were from Project Gutenberg. Those which I did create in Calibre worked the same.
If there's a problem with 2 covers, open the epub, delete the placeholder that Calibre inserts, and put in whichever you like. However, I did not do that for 2 of the books, and they still worked, even though I noticed the original Calibre placeholder cover.jpeg was still inside.
If you want to save CSS (there shouldn't be a reason you need to unless you did something custom that's not compatible with Calibre), then just open the document, copy out the CSS file, re-convert as described, and the re-open the file and replace the CSS file. That sounds like a lot of work again.
If you haven't tried the method I described, just backup your book to another location, and give it a shot.
