Just to add a bit of detail to capnm's post, above...
If you check the box
Upload separate cover thumbnails... then the current Calibre cover will be sent as a thumbnail with each new book. If you don't check it, the Sony will attempt to extract the image from page 1 of each new book. This is often unsatisfactory, especially with DRM books.
Next, if you want completely uniform thumbnails on your Sony, you should make sure
Preserve cover aspect ratio is
unchecked when customising the Sony Device interface plugin. This ensures that every Calibre-sent thumbnail is maximised to 168 x 217. Be aware that it also means that cover thumbnails will be 'stretched' to fit.
Finally, if you also check the box
Refresh separate covers when using automatic mgmt, then every time you connect the Sony to Calibre all your thumbnails will be refreshed to match the current Calibre cover. This option should be used with care. It may be quite slow if you have a lot of books on your Sony. However, it could be checked temporarily to sort out your current books, then uncheck it again.
