Well, not all of my Kindle books had covers in them - in which case I tried to find them on the publisher/author website. But some of them were hard to find. In some cases, I knew the Kindle cover was the same as another edition already on Goodreads so I just used that. What a nightmare - but it's worth it if it means my shelves actually look decent again.

It doesn't help much for the indy books, but Overdrive has been right handy. Here's what I've been pulling from, http://overdrive.downloads.kcls.org/58F ... ebooks.htm
At home with a good book and the cat...
