Its a cosmetic problem, but I would really like to be able to see the covers when i am thumbing through my library. Does anybody know how I can fix this? Thanks!
Hi, and welcome to the forum.

Some people here convert books from EPUB to EPUB, that seems to solve the problem.

Myself, I update the EPUB file manually, the nook STR wants an entry in the manifest of the OPF named "cover" pointed to the cover image, like this:

Code:
<item id="cover" href="Images/510x680cover200021e0.jpg" media-type="image/jpeg"/>
I prefer to manually change because it guarantees no other changes to the file.
