I have converted the azw3 books to mobi, and the covers are still not working.

So there must be some rules to work, about resolution, or format, jpg bmp gif png or whatever?
I don't think there is a definitive answer yet. None of my sideloaded azw3s display a cover. Another reason I prefer my Kobos.
