I wonder why Kindle Fire draws covers from the cloud even if they're in the file itself. Doesn't that drain unnecessary bandwidth from Amazon's servers? Seems weird...

I wouldn't bet on it. I've seen 800x600 look pretty damn tiny. After all, consider the HDX (and, yes: this could be overridden by cloud-loads), which has a screen rez of 339ppi, or 2560x1600. Now, no matter what anyone says, a 600px wide cover on that screen would be ~ 2" wide. A little under. Again, IF the cloud-loads work, then it's nothing to worry about, but if we're talking about any other images...it's a problem.
Moreover, I'm not sure that all the Fires cloud-load, either. AFAIK, my KFire does not. I've had it...2 years? (I think, sorry, don't remember). Now, it only has a rez of 169, so 600 would still be fair-sized on it. My PMgr's (Len's) screen, though, is the 8.9" HD, and that's 254, 1920x1200. On that, a 600px would be ~half the screen.
Those are my thoughts. It's a never-ending juggling act.
