Sideloaded ePubs / Covers / non calibre
I consider myself a knowledgeable Kobo and calibre user but there is something that is a mystery too me.
I tend to sideload a lot of content to my Libra Colour from Google Drive; content that I've done a "Save to disc" from calibre. This is due to the majority of my computer work is done on a ChromeBook that has calibre installed on the Linux side. While the ChromeBook does allow sharing of an USB attached device to Linux it appears as /mnt/chromeos/removable/KOBOeReader and the USB device info is not shared. What I find though is that the Kobo does not always display the cover of the sideloaded content while sleeping, while it does display a thumb nail in the My Books view. Any suggestions? |

Typical! I decide to maybe try to gather info on the issue, so take a full directory listing of the Kobo along with a copy of the database; copy a new ePub to the device and allow the Kobo to process the book. Open the book and.... I see a cover when it sleeps
![]() Maybe time to try again, but this time copy it from Google Drive rather than via USB. |

And of course, I just tried via Google Drive and all worked perfectly as well. Sigh

If the cover doesn't show up, it probably means the OPF is malformed and doesn't link to the cover image correctly.
