However if you are searching for the covers online (because it's not part of the EPUB) there is no guarantee Moon Reader will find it.
Go to http://validator.idpf.org/ and upload your EPUB files that do not have cover art. If it doesn't pass the test, it's not a valid EPUB.
As a highly experienced computer programmer I say you should keep this in mind: Most publishers do no know what they are doing when they convert books to EPUB. They are likely not hiring computer people to do the conversion as I've come across 5+ EPUB books (where the paper version was by an experienced author) with many errors in spelling.
I also have a theory that some illegal EPUB files are being created by kids from a PDF, using OCR software, and the EPUBs also contain a lot of errors. |
Thank you for the information. Trying to stick with MOBI files but maybe EPUB is the way to go. Will test EPUB files with my setup to see if the file type is the problem here.
