Do you know by any chance how Calibre detects if cover is missing and how it extracts it from azw[3]/mobi file? I can't find covers in Kindle/documents and its subfolders (Kindle 11th gen.) Found only Kindle/system/bookcovers/ folder but it has only one jpg file, however kindle displays all covers. I'm confused how everything is working under the hood and how amazon-cover-bug helps to fix the problem.

p.s. found Kindle/system/thumbnails, looks like this is the folder which Calibre is monitoring?

Yes, that is the folder that Kindles use to cache cover thumbnail images for the library view.
