Hi guys,

I'm trying to change the cover on two ebooks (Using Calibre) that I downloaded from Gutenberg. They seem to be stuck on their default covers - the white ones with the text that Gutenberg gives them.

I have selected the books in Calibre, edited the metadata to change the cover image to my selected one, then transferred them to my Kobo. When I disconnect and boot up my Kobo however, there is no sight of my new covers and only the default ones! I have tried deleting and retransferring. I have also searched in my Kobo directory and deleted all reference to either book from the device (I actually found a .png image of the original covers and deleted that), to no avail. It's as if Calibre is just not transferring the cover images at all.

The cover feature worked fine on other books so any help you might be on finding out why it isn't working here would be greatly appreciated!
