Thumbnails not always showing up
This is a problem that crops up for me from time to time, no matter if I'm converting 2 books or 50. About half of my books come to me in epub and the rest in mobi; I always update the metadata and cover art as needed before converting all books to mobi.
Once I load the converted books to MobiPocket, I always find one or two that don't display the cover art thumbnails. It's really not hard to correct using mobi2mobi but after my last mass conversion, I had to edit 7 of the 35 books. calibre does have the cover art in the folder which is what I use to do the edit. I searched the forum and can't find anyone with the same problem. Any ideas? |

The cover art does not normally get inserted into the ebook file until you run a conversion. Are the problem files ones that you get in mobi format in the first place? If so you need to run a mobi-mobi conversion to get the cover art updated.

I update the metadata and cover art (if not already present), then do the mobi->mobi (or occasionally epub->mobi) conversion.
THEN I load the converted files into MobiPocket, only to find the thumbnails aren't always present. That's the issue -- they show up on most files, but are missing on a very few. |

you need to open a ticket and attach a file which on conversion results in a mobi file without a cover.
