(just like it's was to easy for Kindles to just generate thumbnails from embedded book cover, regardless of book format & CDETYPE)
I believe this to be intentional. They withhold features from books that were not purchased from Amazon. It gives incentive to purchase from them instead of other book stores.

For example, in older firmware versions you could sideload a cover thumbnail for a KF8 personal document. They added code to block that.
