Hi there,
I've found a nice workaround to display your ebook covers on kindle paperwhite after converting them with calibre.
It has been suggested to remove the ASIN metatag (for example enabling "facebook" option in mobi output settings), but this caused a problem: the books were marked as "personal" and put in the "documents" category.
I've noticed that all the covers show up, with the updated version of Calibre, if you send them along with the .apnx file generated by Calibre. In order to do this, you must simply convert your new books with Calibre without enabling the facebook option, then send them to device using Calibre. But, what to do if you have already stored all your e-books on kindle and you miss only the .apnx files?
THE METHOD I'VE USED
1. I connected my PW, started Calibre and selected all the files that were already stored on the device
2. My books were in the folder /documents/mobi/. So I renamed the "documents" folder into "documents2", and created a new empty folder called "documents", like the original one
3. From Calibre, I selected the "send to device" option, then "send a specific format to", "primary memory" (not sure of the exacts translations from italian)
4. After the trasfer was complete, I went to the documents folder, selected all the generated folders (not files, folder only!) and copied them into the old /documents2/mobi/ folder, where my books where stored
5. I answered yes to the answer about merging folders
6. Then, I removed the temporary /documents/ folder, and renamed the old one back to /documents/mobi
7. Now all the book covers, thanks to the .apnx files, where shown in kindle home
ALTERNATIVE METEOD YOU COULD TRY
You can try also to use the APNX generator plugin for Calibre (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=126220). I didn't try it and can't say if it is a faster way or not.
Let me know if you have any corrections, doubts or notes regarding this methods.
