So, I'm trying to load my Scribe with PDFs, but the experience with PDFs is sub-par.

If I throw the PDFs into 'Send to Kindle," the book gets converted on Amazon's end to a print-replica kfx file.

I can then copy the kfx file off the Kindle, throw it in Calibre, add metadata to it and sync it back over. That works great, EXCEPT for the cover art. I never get the cover art.

I read a thread somewhere that Calibre cannot add the cover art, because the device is now set up to use MTP instead of just mounting like an external disk.

Is there some way to manually add cover if I install a tool that lets me view the MTP filesystem, or is the location for the cover art just hidden from MTP?
Personal documents in Print Replica KFX do not support cover thumbnails. It has nothing to do with MTP.

Or at least nobody has figured out how to add them (I have tried). Print Replica books from Kindle store do have cover thumbnails, but the rules seem different for personal documents in this format.
