Hello,

I've uploaded a couple of my books into my Kindle library (personal docs or whatever it's called these days) and even though it appeared to have the cover when I had it in Calibre, it didn't show up as expected in Kindle. It shows a generic "K" Kindle cover, most of the time. Occasionally, it will show the cover as expected but generally not. I'm wondering if I somehow didn't actually embed the cover or if Kindle just can't show the correct cover. I thought I read on my searches that it is possible for Kindle to view nice covers but I'm not sure what to do to ensure this happens.

Could anyone please let me know if it's possible for Kindle to show covers in uploaded books and, if so, what I need to do to make that happen. I would be extremely grateful for any help with this. Thanks so much!
