Woah that's weird. I have "view hidden files and folders" on and I still don't see it, but typing it into the location bar does put me in it!

So yeah I see the thumbnails directory now. I've only ever sent books using Calibre. I think I see what the problem is though. I see the actual cover I want to use and that's named using a random (?) ID, e.g.:

thumbnail_d341a6a3-e5f8-4a7d-9d83-0d793f7893eb_EBOK_portrait.jpg

This was presumably sent the first time I sent the book, before I added the mobi-asin.

However, I also see the one that's now being used after adding the mobi-asin, and it contains the mobi-asin instead of that seemingly random ID:

thumbnail_1876963468_EBOK_portrait.jpg

This is presumably the one that the kindle downloaded.

So I'm not sure how I can get Calibre to (re?)send the thumbnail of that book but now using the mobi-asin ID so that that is picked up instead.

Does that make sense?
