On one book, the cover chosen is for the kindle version. How can I influence it to get the cover for the physical version? Is it related to the values in the IDs field? When I blanked out the IDs field, it still defaulted to the kindle version.

What would be nice is if the cover downloader/browser will present all cover variations so the user has more choices.

FWIW this is one of my heavily used PI (not just for alternate covers).
