Book shows blank cover in Nook Color

Hello;
I downloaded my first book last night and in the Nook library it shows up as a blank cover. When I open the book the color cover is at the start of the book but it is in a large scale so all of the title cant been seen.

Thanks Bill

The NC (and the touch as well) are rather picky with the covers. If your book is DRM free (or you are willing to strip the DRM), it is simple to update it to show the cover. The simplest way is to use Sigil 0..4.1, as indicated here (one of the contributor's blog).

If you use Calibre, just save the book as EPUB... even if it's already an EPUB, and Calibre will fix the file so the cover will show when you side load it.

If it's a book from your local library, there's no fix unless the Nook software is fixed.
