AFAIK: Preferences->Send to Device/Save to Disk have settings that allow the user to control the metadata saved/sent. For Send its the Metadata Management setting, and for Save its the Update metadata in saved copies setting.

But I don't use Save or Send so I'm not 100% sure they work as I'm interpret them.

The server updates metadata in the cpy it sends. That has not changed. The problem is that some EPUB files do not correctly identify their covers, in which case changing the cover during a metadata update will not work. In such cases you have to either convert or use Polish

OK!

I was wrong. But it seems that there was a reason why I was wrong. What I experienced seemed to match my conclusion and my suggested fix actually fixed the problem I experienced.

Oh, well!

Hey all, also having trouble with getting the cover image to download to my Kindle via the content server (PW3, 7th gen). I've tried everything, incl. Polish, resize cover, re-downloading metadata.

My go-to is converting ePub to AZW3. Any suggestions?
