If we could choose wich cover to use ; the build-in cover within the epub or the calibre metadata epub cover...it would be really really great 
Since there is this (awesome) feature of using the cover on the current reading book on shutdown...it would be great to implement this little tweak. |
Hi Kek,
Actually, what you say is incorrect. Our code uses the built-in Sony procedure for retrieving the cover from the epub file. The difference is we then use it at 800x600 size, whereas Sony only used it to generate a small thumbnail. But the same source file is being used in both cases.
What you are noticing is that sometimes an epub has a cover image (according to the metadata) and then the first page of the book is a higher quality version of the cover. It would be too difficult to write a procedure to find an then use such a higher quality image.
Instead, just make sure that when you use Calibre to change the cover, choose a high quality image! I never use the one that Calibre suggests. I do my own Google image search and find the highest quality image I can.
Sincerely,
Ben.
