In the past the request for the thumbnail image would fail because the ASIN is not a valid one at Amazon. It does this whether or not a thumbnail for that book is already present.

When a new book is found in storage that is marked as an Amazon-sourced book (EBOK) the Kindle software initiates the download of the cover thumbnail for that book based on its ASIN. There is a thread on Reddit about it: All my book covers just disappeared?! The same thing is happening for AZW3 files. I can work around by replacing the 'no image found' thumbnail with the cover art (using save cover to disk) on re-plugging-in, but I need to note which thumbnail goes with which book before I eject! Just checked, when Airplane mode is on, the cover art remains as soon as airplane mode is turned off, the cover art disappears. If I understand correctly, normally the kindle asks amazon servers for artwork for a sideloaded book, so presumably it is now doing this regardless of the presence of art in the thumbnails folder? Looking at the system/thumbnails directory, Calibre is creating a correct image, but after ejecting the kindle and re-plugging-in, the same thumbnail file has been replaced by the 'no image found' amazon thumbnail.

The last time I successfully added a book to the Paperwhite must have been within the last two months, has there been a kindle software update since then? The kfx files had previously been uploaded to my old Paperwhite (2018) with working cover art thumbnails but I tested again today and it's now showing the same behaviour as the Oasis. The cover art thumbnails on the home screen briefly appeared correctly but almost instantly vanished and replaced by the default blank cover.

Once switched on it will adopt the art of the book you're reading, whether that's the latest boast-worth prize winner, or that guilty pleasure you found on the free list in Prime Reading.Uploaded my kfx files (converted epubs) with Calibre send-to-device to my new Oasis (2019). If you meet all those criteria head into settings > all settings > device options and you should have the option to Show Cover at the top of the page. You'll also need to have an ad-free Kindle, because obviously the lockscreen art would replace where the adverts would go. The easiest way to find the device type you have is via your Amazon account here.
Getting the cover art to display is easy, but you'll need a compatible Kindle and the latest version of the Kindle software, which not all regions have at the time of writing.Ĭompatible models: Kindle (8th, 10th Gen), Kindle Paperwhite (7th, 10th Gen), Kindle Oasis (8th, 9th, 10th Gen), and Kindle Voyage (7th Gen). It's a great way to remind you what you're reading, as well as to draw you back into that gripping novel you're halfway through. Thanks to having an E Ink display, the Kindle holds an image when it goes to sleep - and now you can select the cover of the book you're reading to be displayed, instead of that pile of pens or old typesetting kit. Rather than just showing random images when the screen is in standby, you'll now be able to have it show the cover of the book you're reading. (Pocket-lint) - Amazon has enabled a feature that's probably going to be popular.
