iBooks was updated to 2.0 today. Same problem though on iPad. I also checked on the iPhone - Same issue there too, as well as in iTunes for Windows. Looks fine in Calibre.

<p>Here's a fix (that's more work for you the user).
<br />
-In iTunes get to where you can edit information about the ePub (I use the funny command key + "I" on my macbook). </p>
<p>-The tab on the far right should say "artwork" or "cover" or "image," something like that. Click on that one.</p>
<p>-Now find the appropriate ePub here on Paizo's website and click on the cover image so that it pulls up just the cover art in it's own window or tab.</p>
<p>-Copy the artwork and paste it into the appropriate place for the cover in iTunes.</p>
<p>-Repeat for each ePub that doesn't have cover art showing.</p>
<p>-Resync your device and BEHOLD THE AWESOME COVER ART FOR YOUR EPUB!!!</p>
<p>Sorry that I didn't have all the correct names for tabs and such. It's been a while since I did this.
