I just tried with sideloaded ebooks in azw3, and cover did not show on some. It showed on others, I guess the difference is the CDETYPE being set to PDOC?

Any tips on how to set it to this while converting an epub to azw3? And I guess if I do that, cover will show but it will be listed as a document and not a book? I will have to see if it's worth it or not.

So far I am converting to kfx and sideloading and that always works, but it is much heavier to convert.
