Thanks for the iPad profile!
I dragged a bunch of ePub files from my Calibre library to iTunes, and I'd say about 30% of them showed up in iBooks with no covers (unlike in Calibre, where they are all perfect) I read somewhere that there is a certain metadata necessary for iBooks to display covers, so I just resaved all my books using the iPad profile, saved them out as ePubs, dragged them to iTunes and...perfect.

Thanks, Kovid!

Hmmmm...one thing I'm noticing about iBooks-the Table of Contents doesn't show correctly in iBooks all the time-whereas in Stanza it does...must be another meta

when you say doesn't show correctly, what do you mean?

In iBooks, the TOC/Bookmarks page is just blank, whereas the same book in Stanza the TOC/Bookmarks page shows the proper clickable chapters.

I will check the books in Sigil to see what is going on.

Edit:
Ok..so this is odd. I re-saved all my ePubs using the iPad profile...but now if I send that book to my iPhone..no TOC in Stanza either...the same book that previously had a TOC.
But, that didn't happen to all my books, just some of them. I'll keep experimenting-probably something I did during my flailing around with editing them
