Hi

OK Thanks for getting back. Most helpful.

I add the book to Calibre and click 'Edit Metadata' to download a cover for it. When the cover has downloaded and displayed , I click 'send to device' to send the book and cover. I eject the device and open the reader - no cover! It's usually an entirely different image or a text shot of the first page. I don't think I've ever managed to get the cover I've downloaded to go with the book onto the Kobo touch. It does seem very buggy in this respect.

I wouldn't mind if the images on the reader were all a neat text plate with author and title providing this were consistent. My preference though would be to have the correct cover of the book displayed as sent from calibre. Presently it's all a bit frustrating , so if you do have a plugin that would ensure the images go across correctly that would be really helpful. Copious notes re installation and use please!

The firmware on the Kobo Touch is version 3.2.0 and i have Calibre 1.31

Thanks.
