Hi, all,

So I'm using Sigil 0.6.0 (for some reason 7 won't run on my Mac). For some time now I've been doing e-books with kindle, using the "add semantics" menu to indicate the cover, and then using Kindle Preview to generate the mobi file. Things have worked just fine for two years.

Until now. All of a sudden Kindle Preview has stopped identifying the cover as the cover. when I download the document to my kindle reader, the book appears, but the cover isn't shown on the library page. It just shows the cartoon image of a generic book and gives the title.

Maddening, when I try to read the mobi version of the book with calibre, everything is fine again.

So, any suggestions?

many thanks in advance.
