How do I 'refresh' the cover?
I opened an epub with the editor and 'trimmed' the cover to neaten it up.

Saved the epub, but the new cover did not show in the book area.

I remembered that the cover image is stored in the databasee, so using the main metadata display I removed that cover and got the generic image.

Opened the epub in the editor and now the generic image is the new cover

How can I 'refresh' the metadata display and dtabase to show the new cover from inside the epub, i.e. cover.xhtml, after editing?

Try deleting the cover that's on the Kindle and when you send the eBook to the Kindle, it may deal with the cover. I'd have to try it to be fully sure.

Do Edit Metadata on the single book after doing the edit. Then, in the top right box related to the formats, highlight the edited epub. Then simply click on the left icon with the tooltip "Set the cover for the book from the selected format".

This will take the cover from inside the book and use it to replace the external metadata cover.
