But my guess would be that some of the metatdata is wrong. Don't forget that the opf and ncx produced by KindleUnpack aren't really in the MOBI format kindle file. You might want to experiment with the kindleunpack options to get the exact metadata out of the MOBI file without mangling.
I also have a subscription to F&SF. I can't remember noticing bad covers. Give me some issue numbers for good and bad covers and I'll re-download and take a look.

I hope you have a chance to look into this further. I posted to FSF on their forum about this when I posted here and they asked for any additional information I could provide on this. It might well be limited to the paper white kindles, as they report seeing color covers. Does the kindle fire use the same format for magazines? If not, that might explain this difference.
I see the cover inside the issue, but not in the cover view listing of issues or when I have the screen saver in cover mode.
