Emailing AZW3/KF8
As I understood, emailing the new format resulted in no cover being shown on the PW.
Is this still the case or have Amazon updated their Personal Docs service? |

As far as I know personal documents service hasn't been updated for some time, and it will reduce your KF8 to mobi 7.
I don't think that should lose the cover, but then I never send KF8 files to pdoc service. Instead I side-load them (usually with dropbox, google drive etc.). I plan to keep doing that until they update the service to support KF8. I don't care so much about syncing as I'm generally only reading on one device. |

When I transferred the files from one computer to my PW, via USB, the PW told me I had to delete it, and re-upload it wirelessly.
The cover was shown, but it could not read the book. I had to upload the books via Amazon wirelessly to read them, even though both my PW and kindle reader on PC use the same email address. |

it's strange that this occurs on only some of the books I uploaded via USB.
Not all of them. Probably those books that where on special discount (for free); while other free books on amazon that genuinely costs $0, come without DRM (seemingly) |

If you have a cover not showing up on a pdoc it's probably the cover's size being too big. Just resize it. I use a plugin on Calibre for this called Cover Resize to keep all my cover's sizes uniform. |
