Covers in touch screen with side-loaded content
I need someone with a Nook to test this for me.
I've been told that by putting a .jpg file in the same directory as a book, named the same as the book, will cause the jpg to be used as the cover. It will be shown on the touch screen while reading. E.G. book_name.epub, book_name.jpg in the same directory. What I want to know is does the image also appear in the cover flow browsing mode or does it only appear when reading the book? |

I'll test for you today.
Pre patch, B&N support responded to me that coverflow is not available at all for side loaded content, anything in the my documents section. I hope this has changed / changes. |

I do not think it is stupid, not very useful, yes, but a nice touch nevertheless. It would certainly be better if the cover was used for cover flow and in the info page; hopefully those will come via firmware update at some point.
