Hi Guys,

Can we make cover page of a book as hyperlink? Means, by clicking on cover of a book should lead to an ebook on some other sites.

Thank you
Shijo

Why? If the book is already in calibre, why go to some web site that has the book?

Maybe the OP wants to find the book on the internet, say to see reviews or other books by the same author. If so I will recommend to add the option "Search the Internet" to the Calibre toolbar.
It can be found like this: Preferences ->Toolbars and Menus.

It is a very useful tool that can be customized to search different sites for author, book, covers etc.

The book details panel context menu can search some common sites, viz:

Well I learned something new

The OP can then simply right click the cover in the book details panel.

You can also use Calibre identifiers. Even put in custom ones if the site has a consistent URL scheme.
