Hello
I am trying to convert a folder with ebooks using code

Code:

find ./input/ -name "*.mobi" -o -name "*.fb2" -o -name "*.epub"|while read fname; do
  ......
  /Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/ebook-convert  "$fname" "output//$Author//$Title.mobi";
done

it works but Kindle (Paperwhite, 11th) do not display cover images from converted files
ebook-meta --get-cover shows they are available
What I am doing wrong?
Thanks

Attachement : original books, converted books, my script and kindle screenshot
