Anyway, the viewer is really very nice piece of software.
I don't think I can do that easily because the PocketBook software doesn't understand how to get a cover from the cbz/cbr files. It isn't the reading application that handles that, rather some background task goes through all the documents on the device and gets the information from them. That task just doesn't know how to handle image archives, and I don't see anything in their API for setting the cover image manually.

In the old days, you could hack the power off image by copying over a system file with whatever image you wanted. Maybe that's still possible today, so I'll look into it.
