Hello LT family,

How do I use my own image as default cover? I couldn't find a way to do it.

Thank you

Is it possible to add this feature ? I think it is a very useful feature.

Thank you

Also, it is very useful if we can export the library along with urls to the book covers.

Cheers,

There is a group called Recommended Site Improvements where you can post this kind of requests.

Let's narrow things down before we completely say no.

When you say use your own cover as default, do you mean when you've added a book to your library and using your own cover? Or do you mean just any book, using your personal cover as a generic?

If you've added a book to your library, you can change the cover to what your cover looks like. It can be reached in a few different ways, but if you're editing the book, click on change cover, you can select the appropriate cover. You can also upload a photo taken of your book cover as your cover, or use a URL to a different website where you can grab the appropriate book cover. If you have the app, you can also take a picture of your book to act as your selected cover.

If you mean creating a generic personal cover, that's actually not a possible.
