I'll look into this, but I'm not overly optimistic that I'll be able to fix it, because I don't have access to Windows XP machines.
I've attached a slightly modified version that might fix this issue.

They're stored in ...\sigil\plugins_prefs\KindleGen\KindleGen.json. However, you won't need to edit this file since the plugin will automatically update it whenver you change plugin settings.

Presumably the fake ASIN d9ddc69e3e95 is written into the azw3.
The thumbnail file always has the same fake ASIN number as the azw3 file. (Without an ASIN number the cover won't be displayed.)
BTW, you'll need to manually copy the cover image to the \system\thumbnails folder on the Kindle.

You can ignore this warning if you don't intend to publish books via Amazon KDP.

AFAIK, it depends on the screen resolution of the Kindle model. If you're not happy with the result, open plugin.py and change the following values:

Code:
               img.thumbnail((330, 330), Image.ANTIALIAS)
BTW, this plugin is primarily intended for ebook designers who upload books to Amazon KDP. Pretty much all other users are better off using Calibre instead.
