news covers - Kindle

How, if all documents I email to my Kindle lose their cover, is Calibre able to deliver news to my Kindle with custom covers intact?

Just curious as I still don't understand the Voodoo that makes thumbnail covers work at times and at other times they don't on my Kindle. Amazon is such a headache.

Are you sending old MOBI or dual-MOBI?

dual-MOBI get downloaded to your device in AZW3 format.
Amazon has a bug where AZW3 PDOCs do not get their cover downloaded.

Because amazon treats news files differently than normal mobi files, probably because somewhere in their code is an old assumption that news files come only from them and nowhere else. Who knows, with amazon. I stopped keeping track of all their assorted idiocies a while ago.

Oh, interesting, so news files are Yet Another Special-Cased Exception.

Well, now I know (for all the good that does me, indeed).

Yeah at some point they even added a special file extension (.pobi) just for news files.
