Where did my covers go?

MidknytOwl · 01-11-2011, 12:09 AM

Hi again.

So I've spent a couple days going through and adding descriptions, tags, and cover to all my books so that they would be all pretty and perfect when I put them over onto my Christmas present, my 350.

And finally, it was gorgeous, and, with my new Catalog made (thanks to you guys), I sent all my books over...

...but some of my covers didn't make it. Well, a decent portion of my covers didn't make it, a lot of them are PDFs (maybe all the PDFs?), some are unconverted EPUBs. They defaulted to the first page of the file, not the cover I put in the metadata. There's also a couple that the title and author changed from normal things to weird things, in addition to the cover going missing. (i.e. Uglies, by Scott Westfeld on Calibre is on my Reader as 0689865384_INT by 1-10-2011. This is also a PDF.) Another one that did this is also a PDF, but has the added bonus of being nothing but blank pages on my Reader (even though I can open it fine on my computer).

Where did I go wrong?

You didn't go wrong. Read this thread, everything said applies to the PRS-350 as well as the 950.
