Forgive me if this was mentioned earlier in the thread (I skimmed through, but didn't see it).
When I side-load books, I also add them to the Kindle/Amazon cloud (I think it's called Whispernet). This allows me to access the books not only on my Oasis, but also on my Kindle for iPhone app.
I've noticed that it's only my Kindle device that's missing the thumbnails for the book covers. My Kindle iOS app is still displaying the proper covers.
I'm not asking a question or looking for a solution (I see the solution for missing covers on Kindle is provided earlier in this thread). I'm simply noting / commenting on the inconsistent approach Amazon is taking. It's interesting that they're stripping covers off books you side-load to your Kindle, but not stripping covers off books side-loaded to your phone. I'm sure Kindle device firmware and the iOS/Android app are developed by two different divisions, but you'd think they'd coordinate.
