I've noticed this with other indi author books bought from Amazon or Smashwords.

What am I missing/not doing?

Thanks!

Since you can't use Calibre to Download the cover.:
You CAN drag the Cover from Amazons page onto the "Brown Book" in the meta-data editor. It may not be as "Spif", but you have a cover.
I also sometimes copy and paste text from the descriptions page into the "comments" section.
