Not sure what's happened, but the covers on the Kindle for iPad app now disappear.
I am converting ePubs to Mobi and emailing to my Kindle account.
I have converted into Mobi using both Old and Both settings.
When they are first sync'd the covers (almost) always show fine. Tapping on them the first time (when a simple white icon) downloads the cover. After a few syncs however for other books the covers disappear, and tapping on them opens the book (indicating that they are already downloaded and the cover should be there.
This started two weeks ago with a few random books I was uploading. For unrelated reasons I decided to reconvert all of my books so I deleted everything from Calibre, Kindle and Amazon (doc files) and started over. I start by uploading the book (ePub) to Calibre, downloading the metadata, editing, converting to ePub again to save the changes, converting to Mobi and emailing to Amazon.
Then I sync the Kindle app and the book shows up, and tapping on it downloads the cover. As I do this for other books the covers of earlier syncs begin disappearing. I went back and tried changing the Mobi setting from the default Old to Both with the same results. Share Content is checked in both instances.
AS I said , this was a sudden change (no problems for almost 3 years and 500+ books).
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Trevor
