Calibre displays and updates the cover in the library.

If you want the cover you made in Calibre to be in the epub on disk, you also have use Calibre's built-in Polish book feature or the Modify Epub plugin to update/inject the cover into the existing epub.

The situation is further complicated by the fact that when you send a book from Calibre to a device, one of the metadata that Calibre automatically injects is the cover. So many users may never realize that their epubs on disk don't have covers in them.
