I'm a newbie here, so thanks in advance for your patience

I have a Nook Color and really want to add cover art to sideloaded books that are already on the Nook (=NC). Many of these are DRM'd ebooks. They are stored in different directories on my hard drive and on the NC.

So: I have successfully brought those books into calibre and given them covers: hooray!

BUT: now how do I synch them back onto the NC? when I add the new books to the device from calibre I just get 2 copies--neither of which shows cover art in the NC, though the cover art was nicely visible in Calibre.

is this because the books are DRMd? I hope not?
am i doing something wrong? i hope so.

ps. and I see often that we're told to do an EPUB to EPUB conversion. why would we need to do that?
