Question on Cover Art for Books on T68

EricArcadia · 07-13-2014, 02:50 PM

I was wondering how can I get the cover art and metadata for all my books to show up properly on the T68?

I have that, but for some reason some of my cover art and metadata doesn't show up. Even though I have added them in, and my Nook Simple Touch can read it properly. So I'm a bit clueless right now, if there's some specific size or something I have to use for it to show up.

Have you been into the menu that tells it to scan for the metadata? Depending on the number of books you have on the device it can take a quite a while to scan through, but that's what I did to get my book covers to show up in the device's native library setting, and ultimately on the home screen as well.

I've tried that, but for some reason they still won't show up for all of my books. I have over 1000 books, but for some reason not everything shows up.

I figured the issue now. I had to transfer everything to my SD card from calibre when my T68 had it in, that way it gets formatted for the T68, and then I could use the scan metadata option to get everything correctly.

Eric, if you manage your book library in Calibre, then as recommended in another thread I'd strongly urge you to use Calibre Companion on your T68. It'll solve all your problems.

Thanks for this, that crosses another question off my list

The cover view showed up on my Home screen, but not in the Library view. I have just over 600 books on an external SD card and it did not take too long.
