Yep, they're RGB JPEGs, around 860px in height, nothing else odd that I can tell (I also tried putting in other cover images from older ePubs and had the same problem.)

And it appears I'm using the exact same process (starting in Sigil, then unzipping and doing some cleanup in a text editor) as my other books, even copying the code for the cover file straight-up. I also tried putting in an ePub straight from Sigil before unzipping and editing, and yep, same problem.

The cover issue I had before with Kobo was that the images weren't showing up if they were named anything but cover.jpg (which is also a bizarre issue in my mind), but with a name change they seemed to show up fine. Not this time though.

I do have a support ticket in with Kobo customer support, so I'll let you guys know if anything handy comes of it.

Or... maybe I'm just cursed in Kobo.
