I assume these are downloaded from Amazon's servers if the ebook has no included image.
EDIT: I now think any new covers are downloaded from Amazon servers whenever you open K4PC. I see covers there for ebooks that I have never downloaded to my PC, and the covers downloaded today are for my recent ebook purchases. This probably means that K4PC never looks inside the .azw file for the cover. With this approach it can always show covers for "Archived items" |
Wow. I too find many cover images in the directory. Some are cover images from ebooks with embedded cover images, as you wrote. However, I don't see some cover images there whose covers are shown on my K4PC HOME window... I don't know when a cover image is stored there and when isn't.
Also, I noticed that the file names of .jpg files there are all 32 hexadecimal digits. I guess they are some hash values (MD5?) of something. If there names followed filenames of .azw or ASIN, I could look into the folder for missing cover images...
Anyway, thank you for interesting info.
