Actually it doesnt really, but what you say does make better sense. But the problem is the covers just dont show up regardless. The show up on the initial transfer from calibre and show up as the thumbnails in the on card a display but then when you eject the reader process them and then you get blank covers.... The same books go over to stanza no problem with the covers so i dont understand why they dont show. I have tried everything from adjusting covers down to smaller... dumping the ebook and recreating it. dumping the cover and reconverting and adding the meta data again and again. So I am at a loss as to why the covers dont show. Which brings me to my question about cover sizes. And my frustration on the lack of covers. Oh sometimes i get a cover to show. but its rare and i can never duplicate it. on my Kobo Touch its that random.

thanks for the information.

And thanks for all who offered up their suggestions so far. Hopefully something will click and I will have an answer or solution. I strongly think its Calibre that is at fault. But not being a programer I cant say for sure. But I think it is.

regards
