I have been trying to solve a problem I keep having and am needing some help.

Some of the ebooks I have have generic covers by default but I have added a nice cover using Calibre (saved as cover.jpg in the books folder)

I do not like to change anything about my actual epub file as I like to keep them as retail quality.

Ok, I am using Marvin for iOS as my ebook reader, and when I download the ebooks using OPDS they do not get the cover from Calibre they get what I guess is the default cover.

When I do the Connect/Share button inside Calibre and download that way, I do get the books with cover art

The only problem is, this solution requires Calibre to be running at all times and that is not ideal for me.

I have included a video to help explain my problem
