I use irfanview to re-size whatever cover I download to 600x800 and it fills the screen.
Often when you re-size an image, the program will maintain the original aspect ratio, so it can be difficult to get an exact 600x800 image. With irfanview, you have the option to ignore the original aspect ratio. Using this sometimes makes the image look a little 'off', but it is never really that noticeable.
As an aside, I use the cover image for the book I am currently reading as my kindle screen saver. It always fills the screen.
