As workaround of this incredibly stupid issue* I use my own app ExtractCoverThumbs to automatically extract from existing books on Kindle and sideload it back via USB missing cover thumbnails for books downloaded from MYK cloud: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...7&postcount=15

* Answer from Amazon: As per our technical team, "For Pdoc files sent for conversion via email, we strip the cover image. For Pdocs sideloaded via usb, we do not change the files, as the files are not sent to our server, but directly side loaded into device. For Books purchased in our website, we preserve the cover image. For certain mobi files, we do not reconvert it, but directly send the file received. Hence cover image is not stripped. This is the expected behavior of our system."
