I don't have a iOS based device so I can't test that.
The only way I could see this not working on a Kobo e-ink reader is if you put it on as a kepub. This means renaming to have the extension ".kepub.epub". When the Kobo readers see that, they are read using a different reader application and the cover images are not generated.

OK. Good to know. Thanks for the test.
A last thing. About using SVG or not in the cover.xhtml, is there any disandvantage about using SVG?
I just updated the Kobo iOS app (forgot to do it), and the mini-cover is still not generated when NOT using SVG so I guess I will go with SVG for now unless you guys tell me a good reason not to do so?
Thanks again.
Edit: The books already in the app didn't change after the update. But, just in case, I re-uploaded the same old version of the book and the cover now appears! Still a mystery to me, though. And at this point I'm not too sure what I should do: use SVG to be sure that most people get the cover generated in the library?
