Here's a quick recap: adding and removing the same books with Calibre, in the hope to solve the problem, suddenly my Voyage stopped to "refresh" its internal library.
That means that it kept showing books I deleted (even manually) and didn't show new ones.
Of course, when I tried to open a non existent book, it says the book was no more available, still the "delete" command didn't do anything (nor reporting errors).

I contacted Amazon assistance that made me restore the device to factory settings and discuraged me from using Calibre because "sometimes it messes things up", for that reason they don't support it. They told me the best way is manually copy the ebooks on the device.

Fine, I can do that.

Problem is that covers don't show, Amazon guy told me that it happens when there's something wrong in the conversion. Unfortunately they don't have an official app to convert ebooks.

So my new question is: is there any converter that can produce mobi/azw3 good formatted enough for Kindles to recognize the cover?

Thanks.
