Well, here goes again. I thought I had posted this a few hours ago but I don't see it anywhere.

I have calibre 0.8.70 running on a Macbook Pro OS X Lion 10.7.4. Covers are not showing up when I convert a file to .mobi, either in the viewer or on my Kindle 3.3 (where covers of books I bought on Amazon are showing). In fact, when I open a converted/uploaded calibre book on my Kindle, the Cover button on the menu screen for the book is disabled.

The cover displays on the Edit Metadata screen, and also displays in the viewer when I convert the file to ePUB. I did not change any settings or preferences, but used the app out-of-the-box. I have encountered no other problems either converting or uploading to my Kindle.
