it is probably fixable, if it bugs you.
you would need to remove the ASIN from the book metadata, so that amazon cannot match it
I think the match is done with ASIN, not with title + author but others may know for sure
Yup. It's by ASIN. If you go to the hidden folder in <Drive:>/system/thumbnails/ you'll see they're all named by ASIN. Although I have no idea what algorithm Amazon uses for books without ASIN. Maybe timestamp?

Aspect ratio of Amazon covers tend to be 2:3 so I keep my Calibre covers in that aspect ratio as well (usually 600x900 or 800x1200).
