Personally, I learned to live with the covers being missing for some of my books.)
I still find it annoying. Especially for times when the e-book costs more than the paperback. I'm so thankful for Calibre where I can import and choose my own covers and edit my own metadata.

If I am paying 13.99 for the e-book when the mass market paperback is $8.99, darn right I'm gonna make it fancy.
