Need Help With Covers

KayLee · 05-22-2013, 12:17 AM

Sorry if this is in the wrong topic, one of my books an EPUB has the cover at the end of the novel instead of the beginning anybody know how I fix that?

Also I'm getting a lot of double covers (the same cover is the first two pages) with books from smash words anybody know what that's about?

Calibre 0.9.30

Not sure how to fix the cover at the end (I know you could use Sigil but I'm not sure exactly what you'd have to do) but for double covers at the start you can convert ePub to ePub with calibre and tell it to remove the first image. Or again, use Sigil

Thanks fixed the double covers! now I need to figure out what can be done about the cover at the end

With Sigil, Locate the cover (at the end).
In the Book Browser, Drag that filename to the top of the List.
Save.

I was trying to avoid Sigil looks complicated but with the stuff I'm trying to do I guess its unavoidable
