Hi, I read a thread about getting Kindle to display covers for my ebooks. It meantioned KF8 which is what Calibre does to get the covers i guess.

OK a first, I converted my books from ePUB to AZW3. This did not produce covers. When I had Calibre send the books to my Kindle, it said my books were in it the correct format and then, it produced covers for all the selected books.

I don't know why didn't create the right format first time. Now the problem is the fonts on some of the books is too big and sometimes it gives me MOBI files which aren't nearly as good as the AZW3 files.

How can I correct the font issue? How can I get covers but always get AZW3 files instead of MOBI files (as is the same sometimes with Autoformat)?

THanks guys! If I can fix this issue, I'm certainly going to give another donation because this will make my Kindle so much more enjoyable just seeing the covers on my books.
