That's really nice to hear. I wonder if that's something to do with the new firmware? Did you update yours?

Edit: I haven't updated my Kindle yet. I just tried to send a couple of epubs and they're all missing covers, and the title is just a bunch of jibberish letters and the author is unknown.

Edit 2: I have updated, but the covers are still missing on the previously sent epubs. I send them again and the covers do show, but the title is still just a bunch of letters.

Edit 3: It seems like Amazon isn't reading metadata from the books themselves anymore, and is just basing the title and author on the subject line, which coincidentally, Calibre has started sending emails with just jibberish subject lines when using the send to email feature. So I guess I'll have to wait before playing around with this.

It is nice that we can have covers again though.
