MOBI -> EPUB: Change cover template?
I would think this would be a straightforward thing, but apparently it isn't.
I want to customize the code that Calibre generates as titlepage.xhtml. In fact, if the cover image's location is always ./cover.jpeg, the code I want to use can be completely static and is totally self-contained; I can manually replace Calibre's file with mine in a converted EPUB in a matter of seconds. My question is, is there any way to tell Calibre to use my code instead of generating its own, so I don't have to do all those manual replacements? |

There is a 'Generate Cover' plugin that allows user designed covers to be created (manual click) Conversions use the 'Library (metadata) cover. have the cover showing in the metadata before you convert. Simply have the 'remove first Image' box ticked if the cover is not identified as 'cover' in the original and Calibre will remove that one. |

If that's what that plugin does, then that sounds perfect - I just want to be sure we're both talking about the same thing. |
