The EPUB file only shows the cover image correctly on Calibre's preview pane, but if I click to read the book on Calibre it will revert back to the generic Calibre logo as cover image instead. When I add the EPUB on my iPad it will only shows this generic Calibre cover as well.

I tried re-editing metadata a couple of times specifying my chosen cover image file but the EPUB file still keeps showing the same generic cover when opened. Can anyone advise how can I make the EPUB displays the cover correctly?
Use the new 'Polish' to update the books cover.
The Library cover CAN be different than what is in the book.
The cover will be used (If you allow it), when doing a conversion. Polish (and Modify EPUB) are safer ways to insert covers and metadata if you do not want to risk 'converting' an otherwise, great format.
