And of course, as soon as I finished that, I thought of two other ways. Both generate covers, but in different ways.

In the metadata editor, there is a button for "Generate cover". That generates an image for the book. Exactly what is on it is configurable. Right-click on the button to do this. There are three configurable lines that can be used to do this.

There is also a plugin called "Generate Cover". That can do a similar thing. I think it is more configurable and can use an image. But, I haven't used it for a while, so I'm not sure.

In either case, the cover image is generated and displayed in calibre, but, will need to be added to the book. There are several ways to do that, but, I would probably use "Polish books".
