The kobo utilities lets you send cover images to the N905 seperate to the epub. That just wasn't working at all.
Strangely enough, I know the Kobo Utilities plugin can send covers to any Kobo device separately to sending the book. I also know it is just calling the cover sending function that is in the KoboTouch driver.

And I have tested with my N905 Touch tonight with calibre 3.7.0 and the covers were sent when I sent the book. And the Kobo Utilities cover sending went fine as well.

The default image is just a blank book cover image, so you can see something is there in the gallery view. With 1200 books, thats a bit of an issue to browse.
Now you have me baffled. As I described above, the default cover used by the Kobo devices is a the book title plus the book format. With two lines drawn around the outside. A "blank book cover image" sounds more like what calibre is using if there is no cover. Do you have a cover image in the calibre library for the books?

This is happening with store bought stuff with covers in the file, not just ones I've converted from PDF or txt. It's just the epubs when they are converted.

I know its bizzarre, but reverting back a few versions has fixed the issue.

I'll see if i can get the time to post the logs over the weekend. Having a second kobo should make this a lot easier to do
Seeing as tech support is my day job, it should hopefully make a bit more sense than 2am rambling.
Hopefully the debug log will tell me what is happening.
