The original conversion was from azw to mobi, using Calibre with a plug in. It produced three files, mobi, metadata.mpf, and cover.jpg. The cover.jpg file, however, is just a generic cover, which is what was included in the original azw file. When the azw file is viewed in the Kindle for PC viewer it contains that generic cover, but the correct cover is displayed in the Kindle for PC library, possibly being instantly brought in from the web. This is what caused me to try downloading the cover to the converted mobi file using 'Edit Metadata'.

When I try running the mobi file back through Calibre's conversion procedure, I get the same result.

The conversion from azw to mobi has worked correctly with other books, and has included the correct cover within the Calibre viewer, the Kindle for PC viewer, and the Kindle Fire folder and viewer.
