I usually run my books through Calibre. I've never come across a book where the cover wasn't at the beginning. If I did, I'd remedy that in Calibre.
So far as I've been able to determine Calibre pre-processes each ebook as you open/import it, doing all sorts of things with the material. One of the things it does is create a cover.jpg for each and every ebook.

My biggest gripe is how Author names are displayed (or not). I'd guess that somewhere around 65% of my 750+ ebooks do not support how the Kindle sorts/displays author names. This is simply because some of the ebooks are old, some the publisher just didn't bother to get the format right, and some got lost in translation. I had originally intended to correct this in each of my ebooks using either Calibre or Mobi2Mobi but the task is really too big. I rather be reading or gripping about it here. LOL
