Why do some Kindle books not have covers?
Amazon recently changed how cover art works with sideloaded content on Kindle devices and it has caused an issue that makes book covers disappear. Basically if the book doesn’t have a valid ASIN that corresponds with Amazon’s server then the cover image will get overwritten with a generic thumbnail image.
Why does my Kindle book not have a cover?
This is because the Kindle seems to be trying to cross check your book with their Kindle Store data and is failing because your book is loaded in and does not have a ASIN value. A generic cover art image is then put in place, instead of the original.
