From the first post in this thread:

Quote:
When the calibre (version 3.29 or later) "Send to device" function is used to send a KFX book to an e-ink Kindle, a cover thumbnail image will also be sent. Those cover thumbnails will be replaced by generic covers the first time that the Kindle connects to Amazon after a KFX book is loaded. Remaining in Airplane Mode will prevent this, but doing that may be undesirable.

If calibre version 4.17 or later is used to send books to a Kindle it will fix any overwritten thumbnails the next time the Kindle is connected. After sending a book to the Kindle and ejecting the device, wait a moment until the cover thumbnail for the book has been replaced by a generic cover and then reconnect the Kindle to calibre in order to fix the cover thumbnail. See the topic "Covers for books I send to my e-ink Kindle show up momentarily and then are replaced by a generic cover?" in the calibre FAQ for more information.
