One of them does not take up the whole page and instead is inset with large white margins around it.

I have tried to get another cover from the metadata, but it does not give me any other options.

Does anybody know how I can make the cover that I have already the full size of the page and do away with the white margins around it?
For this, I normally use Sigil to edit the epub and adjust the tags that display the cover image.

Another question is; if I download a cover to my computer from the web, does anybody know how I can then add that cover to my Calibre's metadata and also the first page of my e-book viewer?
There is a lot of discussion of this here. One way is to do a epub to epub conversion. The Modify Epub plugin will also do it if the epub already has a cover in it.
