@Kavya: I tried Cover image URL from my server while get book information. Otherwise we have to unzip epub file and then get the content of cover image. — Senthilkumar, Dec 31 '15 at 11:48

You can unzip the file and goto OEBPS folder to look for an image file.

run this at command line

unzip abc.epub // replace the abc.epub file with your epub file path

cover image will always be the first page to be displayed. So get the content of cover image from epub and try to display it
