Hi Everyone,
My first post on this forum, I hope that you can help me. I've read the other posts in this forum that involve problems with covers but they don't seem to fit into the problem I am having.

I use Calibre to transfer most of the books to my Kobo Touch. This hasn't been a problem and all of the covers have been faithfully reproduced on my Kobo touch except for yesterday when I seen to have exceeded some Kobo internal limit.

I currently have 1342 books in my Calibre eBook library. By trial and error I found that when I exceeded around 1200 eBooks, any further additions didn't have their covers appearing on my Kobo Touch. Once the eBooks are transferred to Kobo, I can display them on Calibre and the covers appear OK. However, once I disconnect the Kobo from the computer and it finishes it's housekeeping, the covers only show the standard book icon.

I can delete eBooks from Kobo to take me below the 1200 (approx) limit and transfer eBooks that had previously appeared without covers, disconnected, waited for the Kobo to come back online, and their covers are now OK. I've also tried transferring eBooks to an SDC card rather than the main storage but it makes no difference.

In summary, the only reason why eBooks appear with or without covers depends on whether they are above or below the 1200 (approx) eBook level.

Other than that I don't have any problems other than the terribly slow response times for selecting library items, searching etc.
