Thanks for this plugin jwhowell. I'm having issues updating the cover of my PDOC kfx kindle documents. Some context:

I make an exact replica kindle create, import my pdf, preserve links, and export as a kpf. I then convert to kfx with `calibre-debug -r "KFX Output" -- -p 0 "book.kpf"`. Within Calibre, I have the kfx output plugin installed with the 'Enable updating of all KFX metadata` option enabled, along with the included KFX metadata plugin enabled. However, when I send the book to the kindle with the proper cover in the calibre book metadata, the kindle shows the first page of the book as the cover. I've tried resending it, waiting a while, and playing around with the metadata within Calibre but no luck.

If anyone could help me out with this I would appreciate it. Thanks.
