First, I'm new to eReaders (Kindle 3) and the forums, so bear with me if these are dumb questions. These forums are full of great info, but it is a little overwhelming at first. So thanks for any help ahead of time.

So I added a Kindle ebook to calibre (and I deDRM'd). It is now a MOBI file with no DRM. Chapters work if I then send back to my Kindle device. But I want to add the original cover art to the book, so in calibre I download the correct cover art and then convert the file again? (Is this the right procedure?) Well this is how I've done it, so now I have the MOBI file with the new cover art and no DRM. But when I send it to my Kindle I have the new cover, but I have lost the chapter locations on the progress bar and the 5-way skip function doesn't work anymore. What am I doing wrong? I'm not very tech savvy, so be you might have to dumb the answer down a little.
