I am looking at a book right now with a working cover. The original cover was pretty ugly, so I changed it with the metadata editor in Calibre. When I open up the epub on my PC in Calibre's reader, the first page is the ugly cover. When I open it up on my KT, the first page is the new cover I chose. And the KT displays the new cover when I put it to sleep. I did not use any other software to change the cover.

So if Calibre itself doesn't edit the epub, and the KT isn't reading the cover from the image, does that mean that the KT driver in Calibre switched the cover on the first page during transfer?
