Having said all that, I finished a book on the way home and when looking for something else to read. I searched for a book because of a discussion at work, found it, but it didn't have a cover. That was on the Aura ONE. I had the Clara HD and it was the same. I've just finished looking at it, and I don't know why. The book is still available at Kobo. It has been on the device since November last year. I purchased it about two years ago. Checking the image URL was able to fetch the cover. I haven't tried the other things I mentioned to see if that fixes it yet.

I'll probably experiment a bit more before I do this. But, it seems to be a problem for multiple devices, so I can probably try several times. But...

Just tried the Aura H2O. Again, when I found the book via search, cover wasn't there. But, WiFi was enabled and after a few seconds, the cover appeared.

This is probably a different scenario. It's likely that something stopped the cover download before. Probably WiFi dropping out or me stopping the sync at some time. And until now, nothing triggered the need for the cover and hence it wasn't downloaded. I'll have to experiment a bit more and see if I can find a pattern.
