Can't make default cover go away
I've received a whole bunch of webpages created with dotEpub.
I've then edited the stylesheet and fixed the HTML with Sigil (because I can) and then imported them into Calibre. After editing the metadata and telling Calibre to "Remove cover" and converted all the books, I'm still seeing the default Calibre cover. The metadata is fine... Is there a way to remove it/them? thanks. |

You can delete the cover in Edit Metadata - its also available in Bulk Metadata Edit
If you want to 'have a cover' in calibre for aesthetic reasons but you don't want it in the epubs you can remove it from the ebook with the Modify plug in (checkbox is at lower right) Modify can be used on multiple books And if you wanted to, you can make covers with the Generate Cover plug in - I use the cover to give give me a visual cue for the 'books' genre - law, economics, politics, war etc - my books are not books their 'papers' - but I don't have them in the books - I remove them with Modify BR |

No jpg or other image there to delete. Very strange... I think I'll try BR's suggestion of the Modify plugin. I've never had this issue before...I wonder if it's got something to do with editing the dotEpub'd files... Thanks for the suggestions. |

have a look with Tweak Book (T) - if its there then Modify should remove it - I think you could also remove it when you're editing the book with Sigil - I think it would be in the images folder. BR |
