The only time I see the covers is when I check them out of the library or when I go to Amazon to send them to my Kindle.
If I select a book in Calibre it will show the cover, but I had to open it up to verify that it happened at all. I just don't use it much.
My Kindle stays in list mode and doesn't show covers even when I open the book most of the time, it skips straight to the beginning. Unless there is a graphic in the book I'm reading, the only graphic I ever see with my Kindle is the "lady with a telescope" saying "your next great read is waiting." I never bothered to turn off ads but leave the Kindle offline unless getting a book and then I immediately turn it off, so it doesn't have time to update the ads and just stays that way.
