I just downloaded "God Emperor of Dune", and was surprised to find that although the ebook has a cover - the horrible yellow 'Gateway' one - I am getting only the generic 'Kindle' thumbnail in my Paperwhite, the one with the white panel across the middle. Those who followed the saga of my last thread concerning thumbnails will know things like this tick me off. My final solution last time was to copy a new image into the hidden 'thumbnails' directory from my PC, thus replacing the unwanted thumbnail with a better one. Simple. But GEOD is not generating any thumbnail at all, so I can't use that method. Is there any way I can 'tie' my own thumbnail to that particular ebook 'blind', so to speak?
