And I also select Enable sharing of book content via Facebook, etc, yet no cover appears in my kindle.

No, both have Enable Sharing to do this, and that is what you need to use.

I do not know what the 'PDOC' field does in the MOBI options, and there is no reason to generate MOBI instead of AZW3 unless you have a Kindle 1 or 2.

Or any DX or DXG model (those are gen 2, even the DXG models that came out after the k3).

The K3 and some other early kindles need FW updates to get azw3/KF8 as they didn't come with it.

Note the K3 needs updated in steps/stages. My second-hand K3 didn't have azw3 till I updated it.
