Book Covers Not Displaying

Oneluckyscoop · 03-05-2019, 06:34 AM

I just made the $3.99 jump yesterday to purchase Calibre companion for iphone because I enjoy it on my computer and kindle. Unfortunately I can’t figure out why the book covers aren’t showing up. Seeing the book cover display is one of the big reasons I like the program to begin with. Just having text serves no purpose to me. Is there any way to fix this?

You could try KyBook 3, it has all the features of CC, but is also an ebook reader capable of reading most formats http://kybook-reader.com. I've just written a plugin for Calibre to sync to KyBook 3 including book covers used by Calibre https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=316347

I think the covers need to be embedded into the book, not just appear in Calibre.

I have seen an Occasional (<1%) title do this (generic cover) . What is weirder, is these never update once they exist. I end up removing the book from CC, then send it again (after fixing Library issues).
