To actually change the cover inside the epub, you have to either do an epub-to-epub conversion or get yourself 7Zip, or some other archive handling program, open the epub like you would a .zip or .rar, then replace the existing cover.jpg in the base directory, if there is one (if there isn't, you'll have to do a conversion with calibre as adding a cover to an epub that doesn't have one can be a major pain to do manually).
So if Calibre doesn't edit the epub, and the KT doesn't take any notice of the cover image, how on earth do my modified covers end up showing up on my KT!?

Gah, just started the next book, same problem, no cover showing, but a reboot fixed it. Checked the rest of the series, they're all fine, then went back to the first one and again, no cover showing on the sleep screen until I rebooted.
