Mobi covers and the Kindle Fire

I've used Calibre to successfully convert various free formats to .mobi and or convert mobi-to-mobi and then transferred the files via USB to the Fire but no matter what I try, I cannot get the covers to transfer.

For ex., I'll go into Calibre, download the metadata incl. a cover, send it to the main memory in the device - but the cover that shows up is either the non-cover (feedbooks' white paper cover) or a big blue Kindle icon. In Calibre, I can see the cover. In Kindle for the PC, I may get a "blue book".

I've also tried copying the .mobi, .jpg, and .opf files to the Kindle books directory. Doesn't help.

Any ideas?
