Simple cover solution for azw3

When I converted books from one format to another, the covers were not displayed on my KindlePaperwhite6 (12th Gen). For myself, through trial and error, I found a simple solution: after converting the book, I changed the extension to MOBI. Voila - the covers are displayed.
I did the conversion with the freeLib program (https://sourceforge.net/projects/freelibdesign/). I use Linux version 6.1. Files converted by Calibre sometimes do not open.

If the calibre converted books do not open and there is nothing wrong with the source, then you need to report it.
