Ebook conversion (EPUB to MOBI) via command line

Hello everybody.
I’m new to this forum.

I’m converting some ebooks from EPUB to MOBI format via command line.
I'd like to use Calibre via command line, but there is a problem about the cover.

In the EPUB, in the content.opf file, in the <spine>, the cover page has the attribute linear set to "no" (<itemref idref="cover" linear="no" />).

If I export the EPUB file directly with Calibre the thumbnail of the cover appear in Kindle application (see attachment).

While if I export the EPUB file via command line, the thumbnail of the cover doesn't appear in Kindle application (see attachment).

This is the code:
ebook-convert 9788852013089.epub 9788852013089.mobi --input-profile=sony --output-profile=kindle

What is wrong about my code?


Thanks in advance.
