One of the great advantages of me having an older reader without wifi (my Sony PRS-505) is that I have to download everything to my computer first and then load it through Calibre. I usually also convert to LRF since the 505's firmware doesn't support full justification with ePub. Since I am doing all that already, i usually reset the cover if I didn't like the one they used.

Most recently my wife expressed some curiosity about Ender's Game, a book I probably haven't read in 15 years (and I for sure couldn't remember where my copy was). So I bought the ebook version... but I hate, hate, hate the new cover... especially since the original cover was/is iconic. Calibre searched the web and presented me with some covers I could use .
