Good reads doesn't have the right book cover

[mysparkleismissing]

And it's REALLY bugging me!!

So many of them are wrong compared to what I've got in front of me

I know ridiculous thing to moan about but hopefully someone here will empathise.

If you click on “book details” and then “editions” it’ll show you the other covers. You can then choose “switch to this edition” and then it’ll match the book you’ve got in front of you 😊

Oh yes it really winds me up!

@Myneighboursnorlax I can't see how to do that. Is that on the app?

Yeah in the app 😊 It’s this section:

This is strange. It doesn't look like that on mine.

Oh… that is weird! I wonder if the app is different on iPhone vs android… I looked up the book in your screenshot and my app (iPhone) is giving me multiple covers to choose from for it…
Hopefully someone else will come along who knows how to change it in your app version 🤞🤞

Where the photo is of the book cover, at the top of the screen, if there’s three dots immediately under the book cover you can swipe across and then it comes up with the publishing details and a button you can click for More Details and Editions.

Look at the 2 dots.

swipe along to where it says show details and editions

change to the one you’re reading

My android good reads doesn't have the option to change the cover. I quite like seeing alternative covers.

Oh I'm so pleased there's a way to change this because it really bugs me too!

What’s more annoying is that on the kindle app they sometimes change the cover of a book after you’ve bought it.

Definitely no change option on my android app.

Different countries have different covers. US covers are completely different to UK ones so you have to look at where the reader is based. Hardback large print covers are different again.

Yes. I don’t understand why you find it annoying, OP.

@Microdisney i always change to the edition I’m reading
a) because the page numbers don’t always match up and
b) I love looking back at what I’ve read. I remember a book immediately on looking at it by its cover. If they cover is different to the one I had then it takes me a while to recall it. I like it to match!

it annoys me if they don’t match too @mysparkleismissing

It annoys me too 😆
I have the android app and can't seem to change it on there. Instead I sign into Goodreads website on a desktop computer and can do it that way.

So glad I'm not the only one it annoys!
I got all excited then thinking i could fix it... but I'm on android.
I wonder if I get my hubbie to install the ap on his iPhone and go into my account I can change the cover on his ap!!!

I just tried changing the edition on the website - all good. Went back on the app and it still shows the other edition 😡
