For the Amazon-compatible "azw3" files that I'm seeing, I'm curious why the book cover thumbnail images are a separate download from the ebook file itself? Unless I'm missing a trick, it seems like you have to use Calibre (or some other application) to re-build the "azw3" file with the cover thumbnail properly embedded. Why not just ship the ebook files like that to begin with?

According to the webpage >>>Thanks to a long-standing bug in the Kindle software, side-loaded ebooks don’t display cover images automatically. "

You can also transform the epub to a format compatible with Kindle and save a few clicks. The epub contains the cover.

Kobo is far easier just download the epub on to your mobile and use the import button from the app and it will automatically get downloaded
