You might like to know that, as of Calibre v7.38, there is an option to update the cover thumbnail of the books on your Sony PRS350/650 to match the one you keep in Calibre (which may be different to the one inside the book). This should be helpful for DRM'd books which you can't convert. It should also work for books in a format which doesn't have a cover e.g. TXT.

The book thumbnail seems to get updated when you re-send the book to the reader (not each time you connect, as I originally thought), but you don't need to re-convert.

[Edit: Since posting originally, I've had a chance to try this and have edited accordingly.
