Hello From Cuba
Hello From Cuba
Just joined this forum and have a question regarding downloading eBook covers. I live in Cuba, a Canadian but retired. I have just spent the last two months building my eBook library including, correcting all book titles, authors, tags, formats to one only epub and downloading covers. My question is how is it possible to let the download know I only want English covers. I have been getting a mix of Spanish and English covers probably because the servers think that because I am Cuba, that is what I want. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Of all the things I have lost in life, I miss my mind the most. |

I am surprised that nobody has an answer to this problem. Surely I am not the first person in the world to have come upon this anomaly.

As far as Calibre goes, I would recommend going to edit metadata, download cover and view log. That should at least tell you how it's querying the various servers. You can go to preferences and select metadata download. That will give you a list of metadata sources. Select each of the sources and click configure selected source. Most of them have a country website to use, change that to Canada or the US. |
