Tuukka,<div><br></div><div>URL for cover image isn't exactly friendly. It would be better to have a drop-down list of images in the selected book to choose from. Or one of those upload fields with a Browse button.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The Lulu fields seem dubious to me too. I've never published to Lulu, but I have done to CreateSpace and I like that CS walks you through the process of publishing your book, instead of asking for every possible piece of info up front before you really know what you're doing. I assume that Lulu does much the same thing, and I cannot imagine why you would not want to do it that way. I have four books on CS and I'll do the walk-you-through on the fifth if there is one.</div>

Hey guys,<br>
<br>
Since a while ago, Objavi can include a cover image in the generated epub if you fill in the "URL for cover image" form field at <a href="http://objavi.booki.cc" target="_blank">http://objavi.booki.cc</a>.<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

You can easily add a cover image to your generated epub by editing it<br>
with Sigil. That is what I do with all my epubs. You can upload the<br>
cover image into Booki but don't use it on any page in the book. The<br>
image will be included in the generated epub. Edit that epub with<br>
Sigil, mark the cover image to indicate that it is the cover image, add<br>
needed metadata and save.<br>
<br>
Booki should have a way to specify a cover image for epubs, but until it<br>
does this is a very simple workaround.<br>

Noticed that epubs unlike pdfs do not have title cover or the issue date<br>
usually on the pdf first page. Nor do they state distribution license.<br>
On Sony Reader a cover looks better than displaying the first page.<br>
