PRS-T1 Book Covers

Gazlet · 11-05-2011, 12:57 PM

Hi,

I've downloaded an ePub book into my iMac's Reader software and then used the Reader software to sync to my T1. The book has transferred to the Reader but the cover art isn't displayed (either in the T1's 'Recently Added' or in standby). It just shows a blank rectangle (confusing in standby!). The artwork cover IS displayed in the iMac's Reader software, so I know it's there.

I'm a bit new at this, but the last book I read (and the extracts supplied at purchase) all worked.

I tried un-syncing and repeating the sync, but it made no difference.

Any clues?

Regards

Gary

This has happened to me, via the Sony bookstore, for some novels. I think I read somewhere that this is the publishing house's doing. The cover art is the hard cover only rather than all versions of release.
I have had this happen to most of the "Dies the Fire" series and recently the novel "Firestorm". I added the cover art using Calibre.

It's weird as the image shows on my computer's downloaded file when viewed in reader software, just not on the Reader device.

Cheers
