Hello, I buy a lot of books in .mobi format from various online stores, because the PDF glare hurts my eyes, and I can adjust the background color with Kindle 4 PC.

However, I have a small complaint, I suppose. Quite a few of my books display book covers when I go into my Kindle 4 PC Library and select the 'Tile View'. However, a lot of them display the generic Kindle 4 PC icon, a blue book even when I know for sure that the book has a cover.

So my question is, how would I go about enabling it to view all of the covers? Would I need to convert the books to another format, then re-convert to .mobi in order to get them to display?

It is not a serious issue, I just would love to be able to see the covers of books so I can choose which to read without actually having to open the book up.

Thank you to all who choose to assist.
