Well anyways the Vox is not itunes but I though if some devices don't like SVG Covers maybe the Vox does not either. So i tested the idea and side loaded 60 ebooks after converting epub to epub without SVG Covers and whalla cover image at beginning appeared in every ebook!
Well i also ran that calibre plugin mentioned before, but that by itself did not fix issue so i turned of SVG Covers and the 2 things, SVG and that calibre epub plugin did the trick.

So apparently 'SVG' stands for 'scalable vector graphics', and they offer the advantage of not distorting or pixellating when zoomed. However, the problem they present is that Apple iBooks is the only major ereading platform to support them at present. Those that don't support SVG graphics instead display blank pages! So kudos, I think you've found an major element of this issue. So...blank rectangles on the cover pages of side loaded books are either down to incompatible SVG graphics or to legacy pages which need editing out.... Gosh, this is complicated
