One downside of either of these methods is that the azw3 file delivered will have a generic cover thumbnail image in the Kindle's library view instead of the actual book cover. I think that is a reasonable tradeoff to get syncing and custom fonts, but others may disagree.
What happens if you overwrite the generic cover thumbnail with a custom cover thumbnail of your choosing with the same name?
