5. Click Change Cover - Browse button and select a cover that I like from my hard drive. Calibre is unable to find an alternative cover that I like. So I have to search for it manually.
6. Click OK
7. Right click and Send to Device > Send to Main Memory
8. I have a green check mark indicating the operation is successful.
9. Safely remove the device from USB port
10. Turn on Paperwhite. I now have a new cover. Both the thumbnail and cover in full screen have been replaced but then the Author Profile is gone.
Step 3 appears to be replacing the book in Calibre
is the author Profile in Calibre or only the device? If it is the device, calibre will overwrite and may disassociate the PW internal link

If all you want to do is change the cover. Drop the new cover into Metadata edit (for the correct Book )
The send the book again
