The problem is that there are two ways for an ePub reader to decide what to use as the cover image. One is to take the first page of the ePub and use that as the cover. The other is to look for a meta tag for the cover in the OPF and then use the graphic pointed to by the meta tag for the cover. This only effects thumbnails as in cover view.
