Interesting site @John Monodnack I wonder if there are any plans to allow community contribution.

There is a new site providing great re-designs of book covers for use on the ebook called Jacket. just-jacket.com

I’ve used wikipedia to find cover art for both CDs and books when I don’t like the art that comes with the ones I’ve purchased. It usually has a good picture of the original printing. Sometimes they are scans of ratty copies, but I find that adds to the charm.

It doesn’t appear that iTunes allow you to change the artwork on a PDF, only ePubs. Here is a work around using Preview:

Hi, I need help. I add my ebooks in pdf format to my iTunes library and I just can’t change their artwork. For example I have the complete saga of Harry Potter so I looked for the cover art in google of the first book and when I try to add it in Get Info, Artwork, and I can hit the button Ok but when I do it it’s like if nothing happened. Sorry about my english, actually I’m from Argentina

Thanks Kyle, right clicking the iPad icon in iTunes and sync worked perfectly. It’s easy to find artwork by searching images in google.

For me, not only will the image not show up on my iPod, but it won’t show up on the computer in iTunes. I am using Windows. I have tried shrinking images to be the correct dimensions, but nothing I am doing is allowing me to select an image. I have been trying this on PDFs, not books.

@Robert, is it possible that you didn’t select the book befor looking for the Get Info link? Are you on Windows or Mac OS X?
