Calibre - on editing book creates image

MikeWF · 06-04-2021, 10:12 AM

When editing an AZW3 book for Kindle, Calibre always creates a smaller Cover Image .jpeg.
On running "Check", this image is always shown as an error:

This file is included in the book but not referred to by any document in the spine. This means that the file will not be viewable on most e-book readers. You should probably remove this file from the book or add a link to it somewhere.

So I am constantly deleting this file when editing the book (which I do a lot). It find it occasionally hides other real errors in the book that appear on a subsequent "Run Check", so I do not just ignore it.

I have looked all through "Preferences" to see if it is possible to stop this action, but there doesn't appear to be anything. I have also seen nothing here or elsewhere on the web.

How can I stop this happening?
