SO for the OP the best options would be to create a cover that has a ratio of 3:4 as most reader have this screen size.
That seems a bit fat. 3:4 is like a non-widescreen TV, right?

Calibre didn't convert the cover I created, neither by altering the images dimensions nor by means of the dimensions specified on the titlepage.html

It just plops it in in its original dimensions, and the Kobo squishes it from the sides.

I guess the easiest thing to do would be to create a dummy ePub and have the cover be a 3:4 image with a perfect circle in the middle. Then try to maybe adjust the size bit by bit until it is also a perfect circle on the Kobo.

Sorry for the slow reply, I could've sworn I set the thing to "Instant email notification" but I only just got the email.
