I think it may have to do with the following message in the kindlegen output:
Info(prcgen):I1052: Kindle support cover images but does not support cover HTML. Hence using the cover image specified and suppressing cover HTML in content. URL: C:\Users\hwlester\AppData\Local\Temp\mbp_7DD_5_10_ 15_1E_2B_37_16A4_1AC_1\OEBPS\1-cover.xhtml
I added '<reference href="cover.jpg" title="cover" type="cover"/>' in the guide section of the OPF file since it didn't have one, but that didn't seem to help. I suspect some tweaking of the EPUB will produce a cover image on the personal document, but would like for someone who does this to confirm since I'm new to the Kindle.
