I wanted to add a cover image in the edit-book mode. So, I thought the easiest method were to click on "add image" and insert my cover. Well, that worked, and after having inserted it, I could right-click on the "images" icon and declare the image as cover image. I thought that was it.

In the calibre biblitheque, the cover showed correctly, and also, after transferring the book to the device (without converting, in order to preserve my stylesheet settings), the device bibliotheque. Only at opening the book, the cover image was completely missing.

Same behaviour after downloading the cover image in the "edit metadata" mode of the GUI and transferring the book to the device.

Is there no way to create a proper cover image in the edit-book mode?
