tried instead with polish epub.
I still cannot affect what I am seeing in book details pane- thatis still just the image, without the TEST added text |
You edited the BOOK. (added text in the titlepage)
Calibre has what WAS in the book or modified outside the book.
They
can be different
Calibres (library) cover is ONLY an image.
If you want to see a cover with text, Use the Generate Cover
Plugin, it will do what you want with/using the standard fields on custom templates.
This only affects the LIBRARY Metadata
THEN use Polish, conversion, Modify EPUB to embed the new cover IMAGE into the book
BTW to get the EXISTING
Cover Image into Calibre. Open the metadata editor (e), select the source format, click the blue book (was brown in earlier versions) on the left.
