I'm using Calibre to convert some eBooks in RTF to ePub. Since the RTF books don't have cover graphics, I end up with the default generic cover generated by Calibre. What I've been doing is taking the generated cover, opening it in Pages layout, and adding an appropriate graphic to the cover. Because Pages only saves in Pages or Word format, I then take a custom screen shot of the cover. This graphic is then used to replace the generated cover.

Is there a way to do all of this in Calibre, or does it have to be done outside of it?
