It is hard to be helpful with the little information you have given. Where do your AZW3's come from? Are they (and their thumbnails) delivered directly from Amazon or are you sideloading? If sideloading though calibre or manually? Are the files downloaded from Amazon, produced by KindleGen, or from calibre conversion?
The
ExtractCoverThumbs program may be of use to you. It can regenerate Kindle thumbnails from MOBI and AZW3 files.
