I think the covers come from librarything.com or openlibrary.org. When you are in calibre, open preferences. Scroll down to the bottom. Select the Advanced > Plugins. You'll see options for Cover Download Plugins and also Metadata Download Plugins which explain the sources. Sometimes it works to download covers without fetching the metadata (assuming your ebook already had some default metadata from the original source). But, usually you need to fetch metadata so it has enough fields properly filled out to locate the correct cover.
