For those books you could widen the download sources and search for covers only, search for images directly, roll your own via the PI, make one with an image editor etc etc.

Probably so. I was just wondering if there was a way to replace the cover (with books on it) that calibre has when you click on that button but still keep the title of the book & author printed on it. Not a biggie to have to do the covers later for those, just wondered if there was a way to tweak that image file.
