Any theories about what might have caused the original disconnect, and how to stop it happening again?

Install this program ==>>
DB Browser for SQLite
Start it and Open the library metadata.db file in the library folder, go into the Browse data tab, load the books table, and have a look at the has_cover column, viz:
Do the '1's and '0's match the presence/absence of the cover display?
If they do then we're on the way to a solution.
Exit DB Browser.
Copy the library metadata.db file somewhere safe.
Now open the metadata.db file with DB Browser
Change the has_cover cell (F2 will open a cell for Edit) for one of the recalcitrant books.
Execute File->Write changes option
Close DB Browser
Start calibre
Can you see the cover?
If you can then… hopefully you can work out the rest.
I have no idea why it happened, or how to stop it happening again… I'll leave the speculating to others.
