There's a "Thumbnails" folder within my ADE directory that has the book covers in it. When I copy the "png" files to the "Covers" folder on the Alex I get whatever ADE has as a book cover as the first page on the eInk screen, however I'm not seeing the little cover icon in the LCD except for that one book I downloaded from Gutenberg. Kobo isn't sending all the real book covers down to ADE, either. It looks like it's some kind of book metadata issue, but I don't know what's different about that one Gutenberg book that makes it work.

Now I'm getting new problems; it keeps dropping the WiFi connection during attempted downloads from Gutenberg, and it's saying I don't have enough room to store a new download file, even though I've still got 1.6 GB available on the card. Looks like I'll need to send another email to Spring Design on Monday.
