Now it always loads without images and when I try to put images in it says there are no images available. I've tried to paste an image into the view of the HTML, but it ignores the paste.

I figured by clicking on "Image" I could find a place to input images. NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Also I can find nothing about how to put in a cover photo.

I'm guessing this is one of those apps that hide secret data somewhere on your system, so do I need to uninstall it and start over?

Of course if it's stashing data it probably won't REALLY uninstall everything.
To allow multiple use of images (example chapter headers, scene breaks) , placing images is a 2 part process in 5.x

Because of a 5.1 bug, use the File menu to add a image to the Book Browser

Once the Image is available, you place the image (1 or more times) by using the Image icon and selecting which available image to use.
