Hi, There are stylesheet parameters for specifying the cover information.
In the original epub stylesheet: epub.cover.filename epub.cover.id epub.cover.html epub.cover.image.id epub.cover.linear In the newer epub3 stylesheet: epub.cover.filename epub.cover.filename.id epub.cover.image.id epub.cover.linear If those are set, you should get the correct cover elements in the manifest file.

It keeps giving me a "missing cover" warning, which is displayed over the cover image. The Kindle Previewer documentation says that the cover should be included this way: Define covers in the OPF file using the following tags: <metadata> ... <meta name="cover" content="my-cover-image" > ... </metadata> ... <manifest> ... <item href="MyCoverImage.jpg" id="my-cover-image" media-type="image/jpeg" > ... </manifest> But I'm having trouble figuring out how to insert that into the DocBook file, or into the ePub using Oxygen's Archive Browser. I think I would probably have to insert that file in more than just the manifest folder. Also would it conflict with the "cover.jpg" file that's already in the ePub? Any suggestions? thanks!
