Ah, so maybe that's what's happening to me.

I created some eBooks in Sigil from text files, and then just added a cover image using metadata in calibre. But on the Glo the "cover" shows the first page of text. I had assumed it would reference the image in the metadata and not actually need an image within the ePub file. Thanks!
