I checked by adding publication_type as magazine to the recipe, it still doesn't work.
I think I found a pattern here.. If the MOBI file has only a single section or is based on a single feed(same thing), it is automatically determined by kindle as a magazine and cover shows up as screensaver. If it has multiple sections its a newspaper and many magazines have lots of sections so screensaver wont work.
I think it also explains why wired and harpers showed up as magazine for op and not scientific american.
