I'm using a KT with FW 5.1.2. Bought it recently just because of JBPatch. Thank you so much for this great patch (and Kubrick and Collections Manager).

I have one suggestion:
Would it be possible to have an alternative version of coverview.jar without the thumbnail fix (could be just the coverview.jar file I guess, to be sync-ed after installation of the main distribution)?

As Calibre now sideloads the thumbnails, there is no real problem anymore with Amazon's thumbnail bug.

The thumbnail fix in JBPatch's coverview for KT 5.1.2 treats old mobi and KF8 azw3 differently (azw3 files seem to behave the same with and without the fix). But the main problem is that for mobi books the thumbnail filename does not contain the ASIN but rather a number that changes everytime the mobi-file changes (like when editing the book or the metadata). As a consequence the system/thumbnails directory after a while is full of duplicate thumbnail files.
