Book cover not displayed in e-book?

Hello,

I have e-books here that authors distribute for free via newsletters, but when I upload them to my Kindle library, I don't see any covers. The files all end in .epub. It's really annoying if that doesn't work.

Anyone have any ideas?

It’s probably because no cover has been added here. You can easily correct this with Calibre.

It’s weird. I’ve never had the problem before.

In German at Thalia and Amazon. But I read most of them in Russian and I buy them at Litres.

At Thalia you have to make sure that the book does not have a hard DRM copy protection from Adobe. There are only very few books and yet there are. That doesn’t make the Kindle clear. Most of the books are watermarked, which is not a problem for the Kindle.

It used to go. I don’t know if it still works today. Uploading via USB books is a method from the Stone Age. Today, you send your books to the Kindle by e-mail or by using the Kindle app conveniently from your PC, tablet or smartphone. The Kindle only has to be connected to the Internet via WLAN, which is nothing more unusual nowadays.

The Kindle automatically synchronizes with the Kindle library on the Internet and the manually added ePub books are automatically converted to the AZW3 and loaded onto the Kindle.

Yes, I use a Kindle and most of my books aren’t from Amazon.

Most of my books I bought at Litres. Some also at Thalia.

.epub is not a format for the Kindle

You need to convert epub files for the Kindle with a Converter.

.ePub is a standard format for eBooks and is officially supported by Kindle.
