Just do the following:
1. Sideload your book, you don't need airplane mode.

3. Replace the blanked cover with your Calibre cover in /system/thumbnails (sort by most recent, to make it easier). Copy paste the image you want and rename it accordingly.
Your Calibre cover should already be in your Calibre library to begin with, so there's no need to copy it to elsewhere. Click on the book's "Path: Click to open" to get to the book's folder and the cover should already be there.

Works for me also. Thanks Androzes and hengyu!
It's another step
, but it only took me a couple of minutes. Not a long-term solution, but a work-around right now. It also allowed me to clean out the other half dozen thumbnails from my previous attempts with the same book. Sorting by last modified is the tip, but I think it only works doing one book at a time, as I'm not sure how you identify the right .jpg in Kindle\System\Thumbnails if you didn't know that it was the most recent file.
I have around 100 eBooks on my Kindle PW 3, Gen 7, and none have been affected except the last, latest one that I side loaded yesterday.
I don't understand that? I even side loaded in airplane mode, but the cover was stripped when I reconnected.
