The extractcoverthumbs tool tells me it extracted the cover and everything went fine but no cover shows up.
I am having the same problem with cover thumbnails for sideloaded KFX books on my PW2 running the new 5.8.5 firmware. I did some testing and it seems that with the new kindle firmware sideloaded KFX books marked as personal documents do not show cover thumbnails even if the proper image is in place on the kindle. The kindle's internal log shows the error:

I will have to do some more testing to see if I can find a reasonable workaround for this problem.
