1) Calibre has "metadata management" set to "automatic". Turning on the wireless device driver does this, but it could be turned off. Check at preferences -> sending to device -> metadata management.
2) When CC is connected as a wireless device, the book shows up in the device view and has a check mark in the "in library" column.
3) There isn't a second book showing somewhere in the device column that is an almost-duplicate of the first and does not have the in-library check.
4) The book has a cover shown in edit metadata for that book.
One thing to try to be absolutely sure that the book in CC is the one in calibre. Put an unusual tag on one of the books, one that exists no where else. Connect your device and let it sync. Is that tag now in CC both in grouping and in the view metadata window for the book? And the book still has no cover? If so, it might help to see a calibre debug log for the connection. Instructions for making a debug log are in the CC FAQ answer How do I get help?. To save yourself some trouble you might want to start the debug log before you connect the device just in case the tag appears, so you won't need to repeat the experiment. |
I did some experimenting. For starters I am certain all the books are are on the device. I can see them in the Nook library, I can open them & they do have covers. With my device attached by USB I can also see them in Explorer in the default folder on the device. I can also click on them & they will open in ADE & the covers show up.
On my computer this is what happens when I am connected wirelessly. If I click on device view in Calibre the books with the missing covers show up on the list, but no check mark, no cover. When I switch to library view, no check mark but the cover does appear when I open the book.
When I connect by USB same situation in device view (listed/no check/cover). But when I switch to library view all but 5 of the books are checked & covers show up.
Since only 30 books out of 684 are affected I probably should leave well enough alone since I know the books are there & the covers do exist. However, it bugging me so I will try one more time. I am going to try removing & adding them back again. This time I will do them one @ a time & do a shut down after each one to see if that makes any difference in the outcome.
Thanks for everyone's help & suggestions.
