Within the Kindle itself – if I click on one of the titles in question – the cover is there if you navigate to the cover page of the books. I’ve also selected the option to manually “update cached metadata on device” via Calibre, and that unfortunately hasn’t worked either. I’ve deleted the amazon-cover-bug folder from my Kindle, but unfortunately that’s made no difference. I removed those and tried the direct transfer (with a USB cord) option – and zero of the six covers managed to transfer. In the first case, once the MOBI files processed via the e-mail conversion process and downloaded to the Docs section of my Kindle, only one of the six books had a cover. I’ve tried two methods of sending these books to the device: first, via the e-mail conversion option in Calibre and second, via direct transfer / micro-USB. They already have cover/metadata attached, and beyond that in the course of troubleshooting, I used Calibre to update that cover metadata as well.

I manually added six new books to my Calibre library.

I’ve not updated it recently nor has an update happened in proximity to this issue popping up. I have a relatively old Kindle Paperwhite using 5.12.2 – the most up-to-date version of the software that the device allows.

Hi – I’m not sure if anyone is still checking this, but I seem to be experiencing a similar issue.
