I tried converting a book from ODT file using Calibre 0.9.21 into EPUB and MOBI. For both files I added my own JPEG image file as cover. However, only the MOBI file displays the cover image correctly (both on Calibre and Kindle Fire HD).

The EPUB file only shows the cover image correctly on Calibre's preview pane, but if I click to read the book on Calibre it will revert back to the generic Calibre logo as cover image instead. When I add the EPUB on my iPad it will only shows this generic Calibre cover as well.

I tried re-editing metadata a couple of times specifying my chosen cover image file but the EPUB file still keeps showing the same generic cover when opened. Can anyone advise how can I make the EPUB displays the cover correctly?
