If you somehow have a thumbnail with the required name (e.g. one created for another Kindle), you can copy it manually.
For some of the books, I sideloaded to the Scribe (no covers displaying) but I also sent some to my paperwhite. Sorry for my ignorance, but how would I get/find the thumbnail to manually copy and move? And if Scribe no longer detected as USB, I guess I'm unsure how to get the thumbnail in the right location on the Scribe, but if you're willing to explain I will find a way to make it work. Thank you for this glimmer of hope!
