Ok, so I had a Kindle Touch a couple of years ago and I went through the whole rigmarolle, adding book covers to side loaded books and what not. I lost that machine a year ago and recently purchased the Voyage and it starts all over again. I don't understand: why do some MOBI files show up in cover view on my device WITH covers and others don't? I've tried to convert to AZW3 and MOBI and it just seems that the covers don't show. What's more some sideloaded books appear as books and some appear as Personal Documents.

What is the fix for all this? I've searched this and other forums to no avail (at least not with up to date info regarding the Voyage). I have Calibre 2.22 on Windows. Which file format works best for epub conversions on the Voyage to get rid of, if not the personal tag, at least include the covers?
