Anyway hope this helps a little. I annoys me when I buy an ebook and the cover is not there (even though it may be for legal reasons). I like to have the covers if possible - just like if I bought the printed copy.

Hi Weezie, I believe to add covers you still have to convert. If you've got an epub, just click convert, and convert it to an epub. You can also click "Edit Meta Information." Once in there, you can either upload the cover like you previously suggested, or click "download cover" down at the bottom of the screen. Sometimes the program will find a cover, and sometimes it won't. But if it does, it saves me having to search for one. And sometimes I don't care for the cover it downloads, so I'll still search in Google. Once you're through there, you have to convert the book, to make the cover stick. Otherwise you'll still see it in Calibre, but from what I understand, if you don't convert the book, you won't see the cover in any other program. And if I'm wrong, I'm sure someone here will correct me.
I hope that helps!
Oh, and when you convert to the same file type (epub to epub), I believe it writes over itself, so you don't have two copies of the same thing.
