I don't know about RST, but if you want to include a cover image with an HTML e-book, it has to be a jpg, not a png. I'm guessing it would probably be the same in RST, since I think it's a limitation of either epub or mobi or some readers or a combination of these.

Jana, That's interesting. The Kindle can definitely display PNG files in a book, though. The Nook loads this book but you can't get past the title page because it freezes the device. I'll try changing the title image to a JPEG and see what happens. Another possible bug: in the EPUB META info the Title is listed as "UnknownTitle" and the Author is given as "Purnendu Narayana Sinha; UnknownAuthor". I specify both values in the .. meta::.

I checked several of my RST-based projects with Firefox's epub plug-in, and all show the source book's cover artwork. My question would be, why would you *not* include the cover art, as you would any other illustration, in the main body of the RST file? -----Original Message----- From: gutvol-d-bounces@lists.pglaf.org [mailto:gutvol-d-bounces@lists.pglaf.org] On Behalf Of James Simmons Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2012 6:05 AM To: Project Gutenberg Volunteer Discussion Subject: Re: [gutvol-d] Possible bug in epubmaker Jana, Well I tried changing the cover image to a JPEG but it still did not get included in the EPUB: http://epubmaker.pglaf.org/cache/20120407054945/ James Simmons On Sat, Apr 7, 2012 at 1:16 AM, Jana Srna <jana.srna@gmail.com> wrote: I don't know about RST, but if you want to include a cover image with an HTML e-book, it has to be a jpg, not a png.

Al, If I had original cover art to work with I certainly *would* include it in the HTML, but I don't, and I don't want the generic image to be used as the book cover. What I did was to take one of the book's illustrations and make a passable cover image out of it. I don't want people to think that this was the book's original cover, so I don't use it anywhere else. It looks like the bug fix involved generating a web page called wrap0000.html which links to the image. James Simmons On Sat, Apr 7, 2012 at 11:59 AM, Al Haines <ajhaines@shaw.ca> wrote:
