In several Kindle ebooks I've bought on Amazon, when I copy them to my Calibre library and then put them back on my Kindle, many of the images (I think they're things like maps or little graphic images at the start of chapters) get replaced by long, thin rectangles with a tiny question mark inside. I'm having that issue right now with a newly released Kindle book that I just bought. It downloads from Amazon as an AZW3, I add some metadata in Calibre, convert it to an AZW3 simply so I can mildly adjust the fonts and hyphenate the book.

I thought I'd read something here about fixing this by downloading the file again from Amazon via "Manage Your Content and Devices." But, when I do that, there's no change. Unfortunately, I can't find that thread. Any ideas why this is happening and what I might do to stop it?
