Problem
========
..sideloaded books via calibre(diff formats)
..kindle was on airplane mode
..able to see the bookcovers
..next day, switched on WiFI and kindle did some syncing
..some of the bookcovers vanished, replaced by a small icon with a tiny envelope symbol
...next day repeated the process and loaded NEW set of books(2)
...no problem with covers with the 2nd set of books
..some of the bookcovers of 1st set are still missing

What I've tried
===========
Reboot kindle

Next step I'm going to try
====================
Identity those books with missing covers, delete them from kindle and load via calibre again

If anyone has any better solution, kindle share

Stay safe everyone.

Regards
#Confirmed...happens only AFTER WIFI is turned on. The covers appear as expected till the wifi is turned on. Even without any refresh, poof...some of them disappear.
As if Kindle is trying to get add info about the book ( which I've not asked it to do) and fails to get the cover.
I've tried removing all metadata from the book and transfer a fresh copy but the same thing happens after wifi is turned ON.
