Hello,

I'm new here.
Just bought my first ebook reader, a Kindle Basic 3 (2019) - KT4.

Having a lot of old epub, I converted them to .mobi with calibre, and then added them to my Kindle with "Send to Kindle".
That's great, because I can sync state of progress, and then continu reading on my android Tablet, using Whispersync.

The only problem I have is that my .mobi books don't show cover on kindle, but do in kindle for android.

I tried many ways in calibre try to show cover on my Kindle, (updated metadatas, changed .mobi version to both), but all I tried is not working.

I know I can transfer directly to Kindle per USB with .mobi or .azw3 files, and then show cover, but I would also like to use Whispersync.

Is there a way having both Whyspersync and book covers on my Kindle with my old epub books?
If yes, how can I do that?

Thank you,

Sfritz
