Hi after a bit of help please as whilst there seems to be a lot of info on "Missing covers" none seems to fit my issue..

I mainly use Calibre to convert EPub files to Mobi for my Kindle and to rename files, add meta data, ensure consistency in authors etc and I also add the book cover nearly always using the cover images from the excellent FantasticFiction site.

I then convert the books epub-->mobi or if just renaming etc mobi->mobi
and all looks hunky dory.

Because I'm still building up collections etc and keep changing my mind on naming etc I normally just copy the generated mobi files to a non calibre store (usb stick) and delete them out of the Calibre database..until I change my mind again and need to update it. I plan to build a full catalog once Ive got everything as i want it

however..

I've noticed thought that books previously created with Calibre or new downloads etc are always loading with the blank default cover even though previously Im convinced that once I added a cover, when I reloaded or where the new book had a cover it would display/remember it...

Ive looked at the settings, reinstalled, reset etc but no luck in retrieving the cover.

I note that it creates a copy of the cover as a separate jpg in the calibre folders but having always cleaned up afterwards dont think that deleting that should be the issue or am I "reading" this all wrong and seeing things??

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
