The process I WAS using was:

1. Covert PDF to B&W using ghostscript
2. Use Kindle create to a print-replica kindle file and import the PDF
3. Use Kindle Previewer + Calibre to generate the kfx
3. Sync (side load) the kfx to the Kindle

When I did this, I DID get a cover. But Kindle Create does a horrible job of converting the book. I can't hilight the book anywhere and annotate it. except on some pages. Embedded linls in the PDF don't always work, and I can't search the book.

The only way to reliably get the PDF converted is to use the Send to Kindle feature.

I think the missing cover is a not an MTP thing. I think it's a KFX thing. From some thread I saw on here, If Kindle Previewer doesn't create a cover at the time it generates the KFX, then youi can't add a cover later.
