Thanks for any help!
You forgot to add the properly "semantic" to the cover.html page and the cover.jpg image. Do the following:

1. Open Sigil and load the epub with the issue.
2. Do right click with the mouse in the cover.html page (in the Book Browser window).
3. Select the command "Add Semantics" and do click where you read "Cover" (the first option).
4. Now do click in the Images folder (to open it) and do right click in the image that will be your cover.
5. Select the command "Add Semantics" and do click where you read "Cover Image" (the only option).

That's all. Save the epub and compile it with Kindlegen.

Rubén
