Once I received Kindle ebook AZW format (AZW3 real extension) on my Kindle Oasis what happens is everything looks great except that the Book cover is not there anymore. I am not sure what else have I lost converting with this method I am not sure if I still have page progress sync and notes sync on these AZW books.

So I was wondering what's the best method or format to use when I want to send ebooks to Kindle Oasis. I really want the book to preserve good formatting so that they can be read easily.
Did you ask about this over at the Calibre forums? It seems to me that I recall reading issues with the Oases and other PPW devices showing covers. I don't remember the workaround. I test books (for my customers) on my own devices, but I don't pay attention to covers, as that's not something we have to solve. (It feels, though, that if I open the file once, the cover appears.) OTOH, I sideload MOBIs, dual mobis, not KF7 MOBIs or AZWs, so...
