They all appear correctly in the little thumbnail at the bottom of the library display. Some of them also will not show up when the device is off, even though I have that enabled (but 10 of 16 will. Five correctly, five still inverted).
Some of them I'm willing to replace, but some I'm very attached to as-is. Anyone have any clue how to force them to appear normally (besides switching to day mode)? These are all non-DRM files I can edit at will. I use the Calibre editor.

How did you add the covers? What format eBook did you upload?
Honestly, this is most likely the wrong forum for this--this subforum is about the making and building of Kindle eBooks, whereas the Calibre subforum or the Kindle reading/using subforum might have better answers, but...the gang here can try.
Pretty simply, my take on it is that the device is simply reading the b/w on the cover and inverting it BECAUSE it's in Night mode. Now that being said, I would have thought that the metadata would have prevented the device from doing that--how, again, did you add the covers,
exactly? You say you're using Calibre's editor, but Calibre doesn't have a MOBI or AZK/AZW3 editor; it has an ePUB editor. So...how'd you make these and how did you add them?
