Thanks so much for reporting back on this! It has turned out to be helpful to me -- though I am sorry I could not be helpful to you.

I usually sideload via Dropbox, in which case WiFi is on and Kindle automatically retrieves the cover from Amazon. Occasionally I connect Kindle to computer and drag-and-drop over USB. If I forget to turn on WiFi, I get a generic cover. I thought the only way to get rid of the generic cover is to delete the book, turn on WiFi, and copy it over a second time. What a bother! I didn't realize that if I turn on WiFi, the generic covers will be replaced. Thanks!

EDIT: Um ... well, it didn't work. I just now transferred a couple books via USB, forgetting I had WiFi off, and got generic covers. I thought I could just turn on WiFi to have the covers overwritten ... but no. Nothing happened. Oh well <shrug>.
