Trouble adding Cover to ebook using Calibre
hello
i have a small problem though.i was trying to add cover to an ebook using Calibre .when i clicked download metadata that went smooth the cover was also downloaded .however when you go to folder where your ebook is located and double click on ebook it shows you the default cover which calibre generates .i tried manually to add cover by downloading picture separately and then adding using the browse feature .still it does not embed the picture as a cover ,it still shows default cover .it does not seem to work no matter what combination i tried previously i never had a problem adding covers kindly help me understand what is happening .a quick reply from you will be greatly appreciated |

That is expected behavior I believe. A cover does not actually get embedded into a book file until you do some action such as Send it to a device, or export from Calibre using Save to disk.
If the file is an epub file, then you can use the Modify ePub file to embed the cover immediately. |
