Sure, the same idea could be used to apply/change the thumbnail for any book.
In the specific situation you mention, this is what I envision the steps would be for possible solution, in the form of a KUAL extension:
- Query the cc.db to see which books are missing a thumbnail
- Parse those files to get the ASIN (or did I see it in the cc.db for the file? - maybe)
- Download the image for that ASIN, and that path to the thumbnail column for the book.
That would work well and not be so complicated for actual AZW files which have the ASIN present. If they don't, then we don't have so much to work with - unless the file is not drm protected, then we could extract the cover ourselves, but that would be more work.
Just to make it clear though, I won't develop this idea
