Most publishers seem to be getting better at this - but that does nothing for the many eBooks out there with dull or nonexistent covers. 
 
I use the mobi2mobi perl script, wrapped in an AppleScript drag&drop applet to add pretty covers.

 I tried the mobi2mobi with either "--addthumbnail" or "--coverimage" but neither seemed to replace the generic cover.  Did I use the wrong argument?
