Covers on Stanza

Thu, 08/06/2009 - 06:08 — Anonymous

Sometimes when I convert a pdf to epub file, images don't show up, and so I can't put a cover on my e-book. How can I solve this? Is there any other way so I can put covers on e-books? Thanks

‹ cant seem to create a library on stanza clicking on the green PLUS button takes me back to the start? ›

If Stanza isn't automatically

If Stanza isn't automatically picking up the cover, you could assign it by doing the following:

1. Open the book in Stanza Desktop and transfer it over to Stanza iPhone sans cover.
2. Open the PDF in a PDF viewer and save the image to a file on the desktop (if your PDF viewer allows it).
3. Import the image to iPhoto.
4. Sync your iPhone (to get the photo to the device).
5. Edit the book's information in Stanza iPhone (by tapping the "i" button while in the book reading screen), then tap the cover button, and select the photo from your library.

Alternatively, you could try using Calibre (http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net), which might do a better job at importing the cover.
