Thanks! Totally worked!
What I do because I have a PC is make a cover in Word and save it as a PDF, I then use a free program like PDFsam to merge it into one PDF with a self made cover. works great!
This thread's kinda old, but for anyone still looking for a remedy, here it is. Google search for 'free pdf editor'; you'll find CutePDF. It runs online, no need to download or install anything. Once you're in, select the PDF you want, then click on the Merge PDF button. The Add File button is next, then search for, select and Open. Make sure, at the bottom of that window, you check Add Before Page 1; once it's done merging, the right side display will show your newly-covered PDF. Save the PDF, then in iTunes, delete and re-add the new file. The cover art won't appear in the Artwork field, but the Summary will have it, and the iBooks display on your iPad or e-reader, it should look just fine.
Cobalt99,
You're awesome!
I've been using cutePDF writer for awhile to print to pdf, but did not know about this! It worked perfectly! (The only downfall of the program is that your files go online and that may not be wise, depending on what you're editing.)
