Hi everyone,

After searching and trying several hours to convert with Calibre some EPUBs to the new format KF8 (using MOBI with both formats KF7 and KF8 to be able to send to my amazon cloud by email) they doesn't show book covers in the Paperwhite 2G.
Is there any way to fix it?

I have found that:

- If I convert to MOBI old format (KF7) it shows cover but I loose a lot of rich text like HTML5 and CSS3.
- If no ISBN is present in Calibre metadata, Calibre create a fake ASIN (Amazon ID), so the cloud check that ASIN and in the Paperwhite there is no cover.
- I found that I could use Mobi2Mobi to remove ASIN from already converted MOBI files. I have not tried but I want to do that with thousand free books. so I cannot do it one by one.

Thanks in advance!
