Please help a Calibre/Kindle Scribe newbie!
Hi there - I have just bought a Kindle Scribe and used Calibre to put 10 books on it. My Scribe is up to date, it is synched and fully charged but when I see the books in my library, I am only getting the generic grey/white covers with the book title and authors name. I had all the covers that I wanted on Calibre but for some reason they did not transfer to the Scribe when I loaded them up. I am not technically minded so if you have a simple solution please share it with me.

Thanks

Gavin.

I've noticed that this happens sometimes with Calibre. Often reconnecting the Kindle to your computer again will resolve it.

Probably only for Kindles except the Scribe because it uses MTP.a

The fact that Amazon make it hard if not impossible for some features to be reliably implemented seems irrelevant to you

The problem is Amazon, not Calibre. However not using Amazon isn't an option even if you don't read on a Kindle.
