Was away from the thread for a while. Already found out about Calibre, and converted a couple of epubs with it and they're now readable on the Kindle.

Question is (sorry, I don't think it's related to the thread but I'm asking anyway), do you need to copy over anything other than the .mobi file to the Kindle? I can get the book to show up, but the front cover is still not showing up, even though it displays it in Calibre, and if I swipe backwards from the first page, it shows the front cover there (even if I change it to a custom one in Calibre, and I swipe backwards in the Kindle, the front cover is changed correspondingly (meaning it's receiving the update), but the cover still won't show up in the library/main menu.

What am I doing wrong? This is really irking me and I'm not going to start reading until it's sorted.

Also, being a professional shitposter, my reading speed is pretty decent, how long should it take me per book (say a 300pg book on average, no idea what an average book is. I don't think I've ever read a book, outside of Holes/Mice and Men.)
