Frankly, don't care. If a cover image is available, I'll use it. Just as I download a wallpaper image for personal use, or a phone ringtone, or save a TV episode for future viewing, or make backup copies of my purchased ebooks. I'm not going to ask permission for every single instance of personal use of someone's work. Things would be different if the use was public or for monetary gain, but it's not.
