How are you converting it from LibreOffice to EPUB?

Are you using Calibre? Or trying to use LibreOffice's built-in Export As > Export As EPUB?

If you just want a quick conversion "that just works":

Saving as a DOCX copy, then use Calibre to convert DOCX->EPUB.

Calibre should detect and convert the first image in the document as a cover.

Note: DOCX->EPUB works a little bit cleaner than ODT->EPUB. Of course, keep your source document as ODT, but only save as DOCX temporarily for the conversion.

LibreOffice covers should also be working fine. If you press Export As > Export As EPUB, do you see this?

Which version of LibreOffice do you have?
