Honestly, this is most likely the wrong forum for this--this subforum is about the making and building of Kindle eBooks, whereas the Calibre subforum or the Kindle reading/using subforum might have better answers, but...the gang here can try.



Pretty simply, my take on it is that the device is simply reading the b/w on the cover and inverting it BECAUSE it's in Night mode. Now that being said, I would have thought that the metadata would have prevented the device from doing that--how, again, did you add the covers, exactly? You say you're using Calibre's editor, but Calibre doesn't have a MOBI or AZK/AZW3 editor; it has an ePUB editor. So...how'd you make these and how did you add them?

Calibre does have an AZW3 editor, which is what I'm using. And they're all AZW3, which is why I chose this board.

I can't say for certain this is not a Calibre problem, as I haven't used any other software, but it's certainly a Kindle-specific problem. And probably format-specific, since I don't think it's happened with any Mobi files. I don't have any of those that are mostly black though.

Since I did edit the files to add all the covers myself this seemed like the most appropriate board.
