I:
-purchased an ebook AZW3 on Amazon,
-downloaded it to computer,
-added it to Calibre,
-(automatically) removed DRM,
-removed and then changed the cover photo,
-embedded/converted to AZW3 to save changes,
-correct photo shows on Calibre on main screen, metadata and when viewing the book,
-manually added new file to kindle

At first the new cover does show on the Kindle device home screen, but then a few seconds later it automatically reverts back to the old original removed photo. I've tried the process a few times and always the same result. How can I get the cover I want to stick on AZW3?
