Book Covers Revert in KOReader

epomaker · 01-11-2025, 12:33 PM

Hello! I've been uploading books and mangas onto my kindle the past day or two and one thing I've noticed is that the covers will revert back to how they were originally when I viewed them in Calibre.

All my books are in EPUB format (haven't changed the covers on those, no need to as of now) and my mangas are in CBZ format, which are the ones that change. Is there a step or two I'm missing that I need to do in Calibre to ensure the covers stay?

You have to change the cover in the ePub.

Ah, so to clarify: convert the mangas to epub and change the cover, then convert to cbz? I'll try it nonetheless, hopefully it works. If not, it isn't too much of an issue to have the incorrect covers.

In KOReader, CBZ will take the first file and make it a cover.

If you want to change the cover, change the first file (CBZ is just an archive).

Non need to convert back and forth.
