I'm not very technically proficient. I can (just) convert a file to .mobi on Calibre, and I can add the cover.

The problem is that when I open the .mobi file on my Kindle it doesn't open at the cover. This really annoys me, and the only way I've figured to get around it is by adding the cover to the file, but then it doesn't come out full-sized.

Is there some way I can tell Calibre to open the .mobi at the cover, or, alternatively, make the cover full-sized in the word .doc before I convert it to html.
