Thanks a lot for your answer! I need to sync the last page read between multiple devices so unfortunately sideloading is not an option for me. As I really like having covers for my books, I'm sticking to firmware 5.8.2 for the time being, but I feel I'm starting to lag behind now; I really wish there was a way to get those covers on the more recent versions of the OS!

Just an idea, is there any way to modify the CDE type of a book, directly on the kindle, after that book was dowloaded from the cloud? Would that trick the kindle into downloading the covers? I thought of using the Java mobi metadata editor but it only works on .mobi files; the book transferred from the cloud service is normally in AZW or AZW3 format.

Thanks!
