calibre truly custom cover

i'm trying to use calibre.

if you can __download__ a cover it seems like you ought to be able to make your own cover and have it imported. but

1. i can't see a way to bring in a cover except to somehow get it put onto the internet, which is silly.
2. i can't find any info on what the cover is supposed to be? is it a pdf? jpg? and so on.

can it really be that the only cover you can have is one generated w/in calibre?

In the "edit metadata", you can either download a cover, or "browse". You're looking for "browse".
