Epub to Mobi conversion - cover image disappears from Kindle library

[mujuw]

Hi guys,

I'm having quite a specific problem with every epub file I attempt to convert to mobi using calibre. Conversion works fine in all respects, except that the cover image for the resulting mobi file will not display in the Library view on Kindle for PC / Mac.

If I then open the resulting mobi file in Calibre, it will find the cover image and display it fine. So my question is: why can't the library view in Kindle for PC / Mac pick up the cover image - and what do I need to do to ensure that the cover image displays correctly in Library view?

Mobi and original epub files attached.

I expect that I'm missing something very simple, but any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
