Multiple Covers?

Rellwood · 06-29-2026, 12:31 AM

Amazon has been wiping out covers, replacing covers (with the ASIN) of a lot of books - because they stopped carying them or they have new editions. This means the Kindles when are reset or just started have missing covers.

I have been managing this by populating the thumbnails drive manually with covers, but what I wanted to know is if there is a way to download multiple versions of a cover through edit metadata - and put the additional covers in the data folder of the book record? I don't want to knock out the one I have currently, but I may want to have different versions on hand.

How should I go about doing this?
