The Kindle is based on the MobiPocket Java Reader and is therefore similar to the iLiad, with some of the same limitations (single font, limited page layout options). The iLiad's lack of a cover image option seems to be due to a lack of room for icons (i.e. a GUI limitation).

The Java Reader is capable of using multiple fonts, since it does so on the PepperPad 3. On the other hand, there must be some reason why both the Kindle and the iLiad only allow one font in their readers.
