--- Comment #8 from Andrew Hall <[email protected]> ---
(I know this sounds like a bug in the Overdrive app, but...read on please.)

I have found that in the Overdrive ereader app, the Cover image file in the
Epub file must contain the word "cover" in the filename.  Otherwise, the cover
thumbnail will not be generated in Overdrive.

I verified this using the Sigil app to create a clean Epub file.  First I
created a cover with a generic image name, say image. jpg.  Overdrive will not
show the cover.  Then I changed the name to "image_cover.jpg" and Overdrive
renders the cover thumbnail without issue.

Libreoffice changes the name of the custom cover image (to image0001.jpg) no
matter what the original was called, perhaps to avoid any possible illegal file
names.  But if I use a custom cover image, I have to edit the Epub file later
(with Sigil) to fix the cover.

Yes, perhaps Overdrive has a bug, but given that every other Epub file I've
read over the last few years has the cover image named with "cover" in the file
name, it must be some sort of standard, de facto or otherwise.

Best behavior for Writer is perhaps to rename the cover image to
image0001_cover.jpg instead of just image0001.jpg.
