The only thing I can think of is that the book did not have a valid cover. In such a case, neither Embed Metadata nor Send-to-device will update the cover -- but Polish Book, designed primarily to do non-invasive changes (contrasted to conversion which mulches the ebook internals) has a feature to update covers which does not actually update them. What it does is creates and defines a cover if there isn't one... and if there is, it falls back to updating it.

I assume, therefore, that you were using Polish book, not Embed metadata.


Keep in mind that fixing the cover is a one-time thing; once fixed, embed/send-to-device will locate the cover and update it.

What you did was fix a broken book.
