Ugly Cover Pages - My workaround

Hi

don't know why amazon does this, or what is causing this, but if I buy a kindle book, the cover page on my kindle looks almost always ugly - if I send the same book to my kindle4PC, then it shows the "original" cover (color of course).

I searched for a way of changing the cover page shown on the kindle, so that at least it shows the greyscale version of the colored one in k4pc.

And here's my workaround: I use the mobi2mobiGUI to change the cover (you can find the suitable sized jpgs with google etc.), and then copy the modified file to my kindle (overwriting the old file) - so far I didn't experience any problems.

Has anyone else noticed this, or found another way? Or even found out why amazon does so?

Greets,
Pascal
