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.
I don't even have a "covers" folder on Alex. I've manually generated folders "covers", "thumbnails" and so on and have copied cover graphics into them. No change.
Did you create the folder "covers" or has it been generated by Alex? Is there a cover file in it for the Gutenberg download? If so: Has it been generated after opening the book for the first time? Or has it been created directly when downloading?
