indesign to ePub Cover Problems

dazza252 · 05-20-2010, 06:07 PM

Hello,

I’ve recently created and converted a book from indesign to ePub,

after loads of messing about to get it past the ePubchecker I am now being

told the cover does not appear in iPad - iBooks!

Have spent days on this does anybody know the correct procedure to do this

i.e editing the content.opf file?

Thanks so much in advance.

Cheers

There is no real short anwser to why the cover doesn't show. Does the cover show in Calibre or ADE? If the cover doesn't show there, it is probably the epub. If it does show, then probably IPad is at fault.

If you could post the epub, or parts of it, we can take a look at it. What method do you use for your covers?
