The ebok was originally free .pdf in Czech language and did not have cover. I converted it to epub first and then created a default cover using Calibre. This cover appears in the Calibre library but when I click on it it opens the book on the first page which is blank.
When I transfer the book to KOBO it is without cover and opens on the first page which is blank.

Looking at it now I notice that the cover I created is a separate .jpg file and is not integrated into the book itself - and I am not sure how to do that. The book is held in the Calibre library in the folder named Bila Nemoc . In that folder there are three files: Bila nemoc - Karel Capek.epub , cover.jpg and metadata.opf. When I click directly on the file Bila nemoc -Karel Capek.epub then the book opens on the first page which is blank and this is presumeably what is transfered to KOBO reader.

Thanks
