I DID IT. IT WORKS. (maniacal laughter). I got the cover WITHOUT the personal tag on the PW.

After doing some googling and finding this had worked for others: I first saved mobi files with sharing enabled. I then used the MobiMetaEditor software mentioned elsewhere here to enter the generated new file and replace the ISBN inside the file with - and this is the important bit - the ASIN taken from the Amazon page of a particular ebook (it always starts with B).

Saving this generated a new .mobi file. I changed its name to be identical to the original - the one generated by Calibre. I then downloaded it to the PW via the experimental browser, having enabled the Content Server under the Connect/Share icon on Calibre's toolbar.

And there it was. Pristine and glorious, with its cover and no 'personal' tag.

However! Doing this for the hundred plus other non-Amazon ebooks I have would be a very great deal of work. Is there a way to quickly search for an ASIN for a whole bunch of ebooks in Calibre, and put that in the ID section of the metadata editor (assuming that's the right place for it) automatically?
