I placed the images in the Covers folder and in the Covers/Bookshelf folder both by the original ISPN number name and by book title. But, the covers still do not show on the Mobipocket Library shelf. I get the default image for every book. I can not find help for this problem on the Mobipocket web-site. What can I do to get the covers to show in the Library bookshelf?

If you make the .PRC file yourself using "Mobipocket Creator" (free download
here) then you can add a cover image to the file at the second page of Mobipocket Creator (i.e. after you have "imported" the file). There is a frame on the right with a drop down menu under "View". One of the options is "Cover Image". Format can be JPEG, GIF, PNG or BMP.
Books downloaded from Baen can be downloaded again in any of their formats, e.g. HTML, so you could add their book's image or one of your own.
Unfortunately if you have a DRMed .PRC with no image, you're out of luck.
This works for .PRC files read with "Mobipocket Reader" on a PC as well as on my Palm TX. Don'y have my Gen 3 yet so I'm not sure about that. Hope this helps some.
