Is there a tweak somewhere to force Calibre to use a specified cover image as-is without converting to JPG? I generated some very simple PNG covers between 5~10KB in size and the JPG Calibre makes are usually 20~40KB and have slight artifacts along the text edges. Since I often view the Calibre library from my phone, sometimes on EDGE speed (~200Kbps or 25KB/s), even the small bump in file size can be quite noticeable.

Thanks!
