Kindle PDF Cover Disappearing

andhistablet · 04-10-2021, 11:00 PM

Hey all, I have searched this at length and have not found an answer to my issue, so please direct me to the thread if an answer exists.

The issue is that PDF files are not showing the cover assigned to them from Calibre 5.13.0 to the Kindle Oasis 3rd gen.

I am aware of the cover destruction that happens with azw3 and mobi files, which is corrected after the Kindle is disconnected and reconnected to Calibre. However, this issue is not resolved with that method.

I have also tried adjusting the ID in the metadata to associated Kindle books on Amazon, but that does not help either. Additionally, most of my PDF files do not have Kindle version equivalents.

Is there any answer for this issue, or any other information about my application of system needed? Thank you all in advance for your help!

I'm afraid there is no known workaround for amazon's skullduggery for PDF files.
