Weird, huh? Before this when I could get my external SD card to work I had the same problem, where the cover of the book and the actual book were listed as separate entries. I tried reconverting all my ePubs in Calibre back to ePubs multiple times and did so successfully, still the covers and books are appearing as separate entries both on my internal and external. Ideas, anyone?
Are you copying the cover.jpg as well as the epub file?

In the Calibre library it keeps a cover.jpg and the epub as two files in the directory of the book. If you drag and drop the directories over to the Kobo, it will show them both, as the Kobo can display pictures. Learned this on my first attempt to copy files to an SD card.
