^^^ This. ^^^ Editing the metadata to add a cover only adds the image file to the EPUB's directory in your calibre (BTW, folks, it *is* all lower-case, not capitalized
) library. You have to actually do the conversion to insert the image into the actual EPUB file.
Hmm. Actually, now that I try it seems EPUBs are just normal .zip files, renamed (like .cbz comic book archives are). You can just replace cover.jpg inside it with whatever you want (as long as it's named cover.jpg - if you don't have an archiver that can use right-click context menus to open the file, you'll have to rename the .epub to .zip and then back when you're done). [just tested with a coverless short story I had handy and copied the EPUB to my Touch, but it'll work on the Vox since this is actually a calibre & EPUB issue rather than a Vox issue]
calibre really needs a setting, though, to allow the file to be placed directly into the EPUB.
