user_none · 06-09-2011, 10:41 AM

When sideloading the cover image is pulled from the EPUB itself. I've found that the Nook is very picky of how the EPUB is constructed in order for it to extract the cover. About 1/4 of the books I've sideloaded don't show a cover.

I haven't had time yet to really investigate what to Nook requires for covers.

Does anyone know if it's possible to specify say .jpg for it to use for the cover? Or how an EPUB must be constructed in order for the cover to display?

I'm assuming that since the touch is similar to the color what applies to the color might work with the touch.
