IIRC calibre does some processing when creating book jackets to embed local images into the book so that they display in the jacket. This processing doesn't help CC because the images aren't in the metadata for the book.

Hi Charles,
I was testing only images in the comments section. And I was using only images that are available on the web.
When you click the button in calibre's comments editor window to add an image URL, isn't an image supposed to show up automatically both in Calibre's interface and in CC's book details page after the book is transferred over?
When I insert a URL this way, only the bare link itself is displayed. I can click on that link in the book details page of CC, and then the browser will open on my Nook showing the image on the web. But I believe the image itself is supposed to show.
Images will show up automatically in CC's book details page (as well as Calibre's interface) but only if the image URL is tagged like this:
<img src="http://www.ishs.org/sites/default/files/news-images/tomato.jpg">
Isn't that what Calibre should be doing automatically when you insert an image link? Automatically wrapping the image tag around the URL?
