This was the answer, thank you! I had to go to Calibre and re-convert the books to epub. Not too big a deal. It wasn't enough to go into iTunes and add the cover art there, and it wasn't enough to just add the cover art into Calibre. I had to actually choose to convert the books to epub again, even though they were already in epub. Thanks again. Now my bookshelf looks pretty
