Partial Success.
1. Case 1
I did a mobi-to-mobi on files that I got covers for. (These were books that I had done an initial conversion from .txt to .mobi)
I copied those files to my Kindle-For-PC.
Covers popped up!!!!
2. Case 2
On the Kindle Fire, I did a "remove from device" for the above books. And checked the Books directory to make sure they were gone. They weren't. So I deleted them.
Then I copied the files from the Kindle-For-PC directory to the Kindle Fire Books directory.
Still no covers.
Then I opened each book and found the cover. After doing this, the books appeared, with covers, on the Fire's Carousel. BUT, they still had no covers in the "Bookcase".
I turned off the Fire, turned it on. Same situation.
But, later, after a complete shutdown, the covers appeared both on the Carousel and in the Bookcase.
Complete success for Cases 1 and 2 (or 1.a. and 1.b. if you will).
3. Case 3
A bunch of books downloaded from Feedbooks in EPUB format. Converted them to MOBI. Got the covers. Then did an individual convert from mobi to mobi (couldn't see a way to do a bulk convert. Calibre seemed to assume that I wanted to convert again from EPUB to mobi).
Copied the files to the Kindle for PC directory. No covers appear.
Same situation with the Kindle Fire.
NOTE: When I look inside the book, I can see the cover. But nothing I do makes it appear in the Kindle. All I see is the Feedbooks cover (which is the Title page of each book).
Any ideas?
