Amazon actually recommends using a metadata entry with a name="cover" attribute to mark the cover image.

For example:

Code:
<meta content="cover.jpg" name="cover" />
(The content attribute value is the cover image manifest id.)

If you create epub3 books, you'll need to mark cover images in the OPF manifest section with a properties="cover-image" attribute.

For more information see section 4.2 of the Kindle Publishing Guidelines.

IIRC, Sigil will automatically add the proper attribute(s) if you use the cover image semantics option.
