It's pretty easy to make a cover page that won't render right. I've got a few I did by hand a couple years ago that are mostly white space, only show the upper left corner of the cover, and one or two with a blank cover.
The way to fix it is explode the ePub and fix the cover page manually. You can also make sure this is your problem by loading the ePub into ADE on your computer and seeing what it shows as the cover.

So Kolenka What is the right way to make the cover then? Whats the magic? And incidently on my own books they all show the covers correctly in ADE, Caliber and Iphone just not so on the Kobo Touch. I am beginning to suspect its corruption somewhere somehow.
