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. |
Thanks for the help Davimee. Calibre will not even let me convert because the ebooks are formatted as Adobe Content Server Message (???) -- bought from Fictionwise as Secure Adobe PDF. I'm able to use Adobe Digital Editions to add to my Pocket Pro. But Calibre will not "allow" me to convert DRM'd PDF.
Guess I'm just stuck with the goofy generic covers for those books. Even if I can somehow remove DRM it's not worth it. Too much trouble.
In the future I may try to buy more lit or html rather than DRM formats. At least I know I can convert those and add covers if necessary.
Thanks again! Slowly I'm getting used to all this "fancy-smancy" junk with DRM but it's still frustrating. Go figure!
