How to set cover image?
frabjous has taught me how to convert and HTML file to mobi, and for that I am most grateful.
But I'm afraid I still can't work out how to attach a cover image - I can't drag a jpg on to the Cover Image pane. Can anyone please tell me how to do it? Regards, Alex |

The commonest way is to use the "Edit Metadata" dialog and then add the cover either via the "Download Cover" button, or via the floppy icon to add it via a file select dialog.
You can also simply put the image file as a "cover.jpg" file directly into the Calibre folder on disk that holds the ebook. To get the cover image included in a ebook you then have to run a conversion to the target format. Last edited by itimpi; 07-03-2009 at 09:45 AM. |

You can also add it by going to the "Edit Metadata" or press the letter "E" and drag the picture you want to use over the cover picture and/or book picture that shows up there.
