Not sure if this is a Sigil question or an ePub question (or even a Nook question).

But whenever I edit an ePub with Sigil and use the Add Cover tool to replace the original cover, and then send the edited file to my Nook, the original cover invariably shows.

For instance, I just sent The Hunchback of Notre Dame to my Nook. Opening the ePub with Sigil, the cover added using Sigil shows. But when sent to my Nook using Calibre, it still displays the original file, 0008.jpeg as the cover, rather than cover.jpg that I added with Sigil.

There must be somewhere else in the ePub that points to a cover file, but I'm not sure where. I did look at content.opf in the ePub and that still pointed to 0008.jpeg. So I changed that, pulled the book off the Nook and sent it back and it still shows the original cover. I guess that could be that the database on the Nook wasn't updated? Or is there something else that needs to be changed? Any ideas?
