Calibre Book Jacket
I love the Calbre book jacket, but is there a way for it to recognize that I have already made one and overwrite it if I try to make another? I made a few before I figured out the metadata download, and now I want to overwrite with the better descriptions.
Thanks! |

Save Then convert even if it is only from Epub to Epub That is how you make it update the Jacket or Cover image. |

An epub to epub conversion just causes you to have two book jackets. When I find myself in this situation I just get the original source file (that doesn't have a book jacket already in it) then convert that to epub. As the theducks said epub to epub works if the original one is clean. |

The (now 2nd) book jacket info that is in the book (Title, Rating, tags) ends up left justified. The new Book Jacket still looks great. It bothers me so I redo it from the original source, but it truly is no big deal. So you have 2, 3, or 4 book jackets as you keep reconverting the epub. |

The best thing would be for epub readers to show metadata
as book jackets at the start of the book so no need to create book jackets inside the file. I added bookjackets as my v3 readerdoesn't show synopsis in bookinfo. To edit bookinfo I open the epub in winrar and then remove it using notepad++ as sometimes its convenient to use the original file as I would have to reselect chapter headings and all the other things I had to do the first time You can also use sigil I stopped using it as the earlier version used to mess up things I haven't tried the latest versions |

That depends if you are adding a new cover thats ok
but if the cover is already there it might come before it. I usually use the replace cover option where the first image file in a book is removed and the cover of your choice added |

I used Sigil to remove it. I had used Sigil to pretty up the original convert, so converting from source again, was not a good option |
