Forgotten Hero<a href="https://me.dm/@davidtoddmccarty" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@davidtoddmccarty</a> Mine does show the cover. Well the front cover with a Lancaster bomber flying through a dark night sky, the conversion software my publisher used does not show the rear cover (not many do) which has a German Night fighter opening fire on my Lancaster. So for me the cover fails to do what the print one does. NOR can I control the placement of images within the text. That was done with a lot of care in the print version. But this is simply not possible with E-versions. All the contents have to be re-flowable to display on anything from a small phone screen to a massive monitor or TV. <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Books</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/eBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eBooks</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Publishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Publishing</a>
