I did a factory reset on my Nexus 7, which means all apps get reloaded. Many if not most of them need their settings redone.
Now, I've 'lost' the covers for my news items, and I can't find a setting for this in Calibre or Calibre Companion. What happens is this:
Calibre downloads a news source (NY Times, for example...) Cover shows up correctly if I open it in Calibre. Next, I sync it wirelessly to Calibre Companion. Covers (thumbnails) show up just fine in the book list when I start CC, and when I touch the item to begin opening it. I touch 'read' in CC which has been set to use FB Reader as it's default reader for epub. Instead of opening the cover, it opens a blank page. If I touch this page I get the normal FB Reader controls and can proceed normally.
It's not a huge deal to have lost the covers, I am just wondering why or how?
