While I was still using stock reading software and KFX books (last 6 months I've switched over to KOReader + epub combo) this bug / this issue with SS hack annoyed me sufficiently to go and use my limited programming knowledge to modify "ExtractCoverThumbs" Python script and re-package it as a KUAL extension which I use to "pre-process" / "pre-extract" correct cover image from KFX books and dump them into that folder used by SS hack.

So, after every new batch of transfered KFX files I run that "fix KFX covers" extension and then SS hack will use the images, luckily it doesn't try to overwrite existing files inside that "cover cache" folder.

p.s. The image resolution is "hardcoded" to screen resolution of Kindle PW3 since that was the device I was using that KUAL extension
