Extract cover from another format

ATimson · 12-13-2021, 01:33 PM

When adding a book to the library for the first time, Calibre will extract the cover automatically.

If I later add another format of that book with a different (or higher quality) cover, is there a way to have Calibre use that new cover without extracting the file from the book?

YES
Open the MDE (metadata Editor): Select the format :click the cover (book) icon: OK
