2. excitedly push 2000+ books to the device from calibre... covers randomly appear..

3. delete the books using calibre fromt he touch.

4. reset the touch, start all over push the same 2000+ books to the device from calibre.. wiat 45 mins to process the books.

5. post on forum regarding the issue.. told to reconvert the files.. do that.. same result no covers.

6. Forced a factory reset.. on the touch.. wait for the touch to repocess the books onthe sd card . Succeess covers are there !!!!!

7. Add the books from the New York times best seller list to calibre.. eidt the books to ensure the correct meta data is there and the covers are as well.
explode each book, and look to see if cover is there.


8. connect calibre to the touch....wait for calibre to do it things.. 15 mins later
push the new books to the touch. Wait for calibre to finish it thing.. 15 more mins later.

9. wait for the touch to process the new books...

10. pull hair out as the covers are not there they are blanks.

11.. force a factory reset wait 45 mins for touch to process all over again.. notice the covers are all there on the books pushed from calibre...

12.. ponder the significance of this event.

13 realize that every time calibre is used problem arise..

14 take calibre out of the equation in placing books on the touch.. leaving calibre to just process books and save to folder on the computer..

15. exit calibre, connect the touch, drag and drop books from saved folder to the sd card on the touch.. eject the touch.. wait for it to process the books

16 notice the covers show up the first time...

17. reconnect calibre to the touch... send a few books over.

18. after touch process the books no covers... again.

19. factory reset... wait touch out book covers are showing on the new books.

20. Final move to not allow calibre to comunicate with the touch till the driver is sorted out.

Those are the facts
