I think it has to do with where in kindle folder structure you put the book file, but calibre knows so I don't have to. I always just converted to azw with calibre , from a good epub, then plugged in the kindle and told calibre to Do the transfers . If epub lacked a good cover then it was download metadata then use modify epub plugin with add cover ticked, as a preparatory step. When you first import your bought epub into calibre it should auto extract the cover, but you can add, change that at anytime via the download covers option, it will go find one or more, the you just pick one. Dont overthink it, and ask in calibre forum if anything s unclear
