For epubs, the device renders the start of the book and takes the first page as the cover. That means that whatever you see as the first page when you open the epub will be the cover image.

Alternatively, if you are a calibre user, you can have calibre generate and send the covers to the device when sending the books. There driver has options to do this. For books already on the device, you can use my Kobo Utilities plugin to replace the covers.
Thank you for the information! That explains a lot about the behavior I observed. I never thought to think that it was the first page of the epub that was displayed.

I will try using caliber to generate/send the covers (I don't think I've ever enabled anything but barebones settings).

Thank you, again.
