If the workaround is not working for you make sure you Kindle firmware

Covers for books sent to my Kindle ColorSoft dont show up in the book list?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amazon deliberately broke this functionality in their ColorSoft in order to
discourage you from reading non Amazon books on their devices. See `this form
thread <https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=364350>`__ for
details. The only known workaround is to send the books as "Personal documents"
to the Kindle which will fix the covers not showing up but break other features
such as Whispersync and the books will show up under "Personal documents" not
"Books" on the device. To enable this in calibre go to
:guilabel:`Preferences->Output options->MOBI output` and enable the check box
that says :guilabel:`Enable sharing of book content`. This will cause all
future books sent to the Kindle by calibre to be marked as personal documents.
The covers for my MOBI files have stopped showing up in Kindle for PC/Kindle for Android/iPad etc.
