However it hasn't worked - there's a "both" mobi/KF8I deliberately put on my Kindle today to test that didn't show with a cover, and it still doesn't show a cover after running the above |

The tool extracts cover from AZW3 and mobi and saves it to tour Kindle. Thats all. So if your book does not have properly set up cover (use Kindle Previewer to check it) the tool will do nothing.

I've got it working on the 1 book as a test - I removed all books except that 1 from my Kindle, and ran it, worked fine.
Not sure what the error above was, but it stopped it from working. If I wanted to run it in Terminal on my Mac, how would I set the variables you mention? |

1) Unpack it. For example to Download directory: Code:
~/Download/ExtractCoverThumbs-master Code:
python ~/Downloads/ExtractCoverThumbs-master/ExtractCoverThumbs.py /Volumes/Kindle |

Couple more questions:
1) Does it have to point to a mounted Kindle? Or will a "documents" folder full of .azw files on a hard drive work? 2) Would it be possible to turn this into a Calibre plugin? |

This is brilliant, thanks.
Would the Calibre plugin be possible? |

Ok, this works great, thanks.
Why does Amazon not fix whatever problem it is that you're solving with this? |

Completely redesigned version 0.2 are published: https://github.com/quiris11/ExtractCoverThumbs/releases
Highlights: 1) It extracts only cover from a book file (entire process is quicker) 2) It adapts cover thumbnail to avoid Personal tag overlapping thumbnail. |
