Sometimes, I will get the KF8-style formatting when downloading to the Paperwhite. But it varies from book to book, and how it is converted (I use Calibre for everything). But when it does come through as KF8, the cover doesn't work.
This makes me ask what is probably a fairly important question: How are you doing the conversion?
EDIT: I've just tried Kindlegen as well on an ePub where I got MOBI when using Calibre for the MOBI+KF8 conversion. I got the KF8 output, but no cover.

I have been using calibre for almost nothing of late, and have never used it to generate kf8. To the extent that I convert ePub files, I just use kindlegen/kindle previewer.
I purchased the books direct from the publisher (e.g. O'Reilly), and they are obviously the output of kindlegen since they are huge (mobi+kf8+source archive). I just stored them in DropBox (O'Reilly syncs to that) and downloaded to my Kindle from there. For me that was far more convenient and predictable than using calibre to manage everything.
