The file name doesn't matter and I don't think the id does eitherThe "properties" bit is what the extended driver adds. If that is not there, then the device will not extract the cover image and will use the generic cover you are seeing.


Sorry, but in the first post you say you use the KoboTouchExtended plugin. That can only be used to send the books to the Kobo devices over the USB connection. Does this mean you are actually using the kepub output plugin and doing a conversion to kepub? And if so, how are you getting the kepub to Dropbox? And having the file recognised as kepub?
Thanks for the quick answer... obviusly in a copy/paste I did reference to the wrong line

I edit all my books in Sigil, and it's enough for the device to recognise the cover by just adding the extra code: properties="cover-image"

The next step is just to rename the file manually to kepub.epub drop it in your dropbox folder and use the Kobo web-browser to get the file from dropbox.

I've tried BOX and DROPBOX.
But I cannot manage to download the kepub using my BOX acount, but no problem at all with DROPBOX.

But again I see that I can't use adding notes or highlights if I use kepub...
I know about the extra <span> tags

Another issue seems to happen with hyphens in Spanish, which I set to "auto"... but I've seen some wrong hyphenated words

Anyway, these are my first steps with Kobo...

Thanks for your interest
