A follow-up to my previous post, when I checked on the KT2 itself the files with missing covers are a different size than those I downloaded from Amazon to my laptop. I have emailed you the versions from there with DRM removed.

I also tried copying the versions I downloaded from Amazon and removed DRM from to a sub-directory of my KT2 documents directory, being sure to change the prefix to .pobi to match the other issues. When I went to cover view of the issues I now showed new issues with covers, AND THE COVERS APPEARED ON THE ISSUES ALREADY THERE AS WELL. I have not yet tried it, but I suspect the screensaver will work now for those issues.

Given there is a difference in file sizes I suspect you will see something strange in the KT2 version of the 2018 issues. Hopefully this will be something that is definitely wrong with those issues that I can report to FSF so that they can fix them and avoid this in the future.

This also, potentially, gives me a work around by side-loading the issues.
