FWIW if by chance Calibre should somehow not fix the problem.

When viewing the folder ‘amazon-cover-bug’ I noticed that the books that were showing covers on my Paperwhite were named differently than the ones that were showing the Generic covers.
Example:
Books that had covers were listed as: thumbnail_(Amazon’s ASIN#=Bxxx)_EBOK_portrait.jpg
Books that did not have covers were listed as: thumbnail_(Bunch of numbers and letters)_EBOK_portrait.jpg

So what I did was just rename the jpg file with the bunch of numbers and letters to remove the letters and numbers and insert the Amazon ASIN #. My cover showed up on the Paperwhite.

Going from: thumbnail_31ce9b49-8e0a-45d3-b9e2-8c7f67f635c6_EBOK_portrait.jpg
To: thumbnail_B07XXBJY3X_EBOK_portrait.jpg
