Question Why no covers?

I've just spent some time going through my books in Calibre, getting covers for most of them.

One thing struck me - all the books that I've bought didn't have proper covers, they had generic covers. For each publisher, the cover was the same, with just the book name being different.

Does anyone know why covers aren't included? Is this a Amazon/mobi/Kindle thing? Do e-pubs include covers? If not, the bookcase view on iBooks must look pretty rubbish.
