Regarding the Sony x50s, it took quite a while to discover why the Sony kept throwing away what looked like perfectly good Calibre thumbnails. You could see them appear then disappear before your very eyes as the Sony chose to extract its own thumbnail from page 1 of the book.

The answer appeared, as if by magic, one day when chaley was adding a Sony thumbnail enhancement I'd requested. It turned out that the Sony wanted its thumbnails to be a particular size. Once they were, all thumbnail problems disappeared...

I wonder if there's a magic Kobo requirement no one has discovered yet?
