I have a load of books on my home screen, nearly all with their covers, all from Calibre. There are 2 however that refuse to show their covers on the home screen. They just have the generic kindle cover with centred title. I deleted them from the kindle, deleted the covers, dowloaded the covers again, sorted it all out and then reuploaded them to the kindle. They still don't have their covers. I then restarted the kindle and that didn't work either. What's going on?

Worked it out. You need to delete Mobi ASIN from metadata, as the Kindle tries to download cover from web and can't so just uses generic cover instead.
