You may need to remove the ASIN of the book in order to prevent the kindle from using the cover thumbnail (and possibly other information) from Amazon. This will prevent it from syncing reading position, notes and highlights.

Thanks for your reply. To give you a rundown:
1. Using the latest version of Kindle for Mac, I download a Kindle book. I find its AZW in Finder and drag and drop it into Calibre.
2. After a few moments, the DRM appears to be stripped, and I'm left with a KFX file that I can edit the metadata of.
3. I edit the cover and the book description.
4. I make sure the original Kindle copy is deleted from my Oasis
5. I drag and drop the copy from Calibre onto the Oasis
After, though, the book I've now manually added to the Oasis retains the original cover and information from the eBook purchase, despite having removed the copy from the Kindle.
