I guess I will use my Carousel for books I am reading and the docs tab with have to host all my docs or they lose their covers. The key to fixing this seems to wait till the Amazon server is non busy like 3AM and clearing the Kindle data until covers are back. |

Well, I confess to being a bit confused now. My experience differs greatly from yours and I am trying to figure out why. I think the confusion on my part is the labeling. Are you actually refering to "documents" (not books) with the PDOC and appearing under the "Documents" tab? Or are you refering to sending books as personal documents? I have loads of side-loaded books purchased from other places over the years. Epub, mobi, txt, html. ALL of them have been converted with Calibre, MANY have covers exceeding 500ppi -- even over 1000 ppi, and the covers have all converted beautifully. I side-load with cable, via Calibre. They all appear, instantly, with covers, on my bookshelf (and carousel when first loaded). |

Pdoc covers in the Doc tab are buggy. 6.3 gave us access to the Personal Documents cloud that the other Kindles have had for awhile now but it's a nightmare. Pdocs can be sync across devices just like Amazon books. I have two other Kindles. Yesterday I went through each one and deleted everything not in the pdoc archive. So now all my books (Pdocs) will sync correctly. The covers will work okay if you send the doc to your Fire via email or upload it using Send to Kindle but if you try to pull the book from the Pdoc archive the covers usually don't work so you have to literally keep all books from the Pdoc Archive on the Fire to keep the covers. If you do lose your Pdoc covers the only way to get them back is clear the Kindle Data and that will only work correctly if Amazon server is responding like it should. |

Does Amazon ever fully test before releasing updates? |

I use it to sync my books. I have a K3, K4 and KF and I want to be able to switch between them and pick up where last read.

So I read on my K4 downstairs and then if I am upstairs I can read on my K3 picking up right were I left off and then at bedtime when the lights are off my KF picks up where I last read.. It like having the same books in three locations with the same bookmark. |

Additionally, I just now emailed a book directly to the Fire's address and it appears normally on the Documents bookshelf, but blank on the carousel -- just like my magazine did initially. |

I'm seeing similar behavior on my Fire. Cover art works intermittently, sometimes it shows on the carousel and sometimes it doesn't. Wipe the device and reload and cover art that used to work no longer does.
In the meantime cover art for the same files is 100% reliable on my iPad and iPhone, so I don't think it is a file issue, or a Calibre conversion issue, it is specific to the Fire. |
